Practice question

When turning from a high speed, two-lane roadway, what should you do if you have traffic following you?

  1. Signal long before turning without slowing abruptly
  2. Slow down gradually and turn immediately
  3. Stop and then make your turn quickly
  4. Try not to slow down your vehicle too early

Answer: A — Signal long before turning without slowing abruptly

When turning from a high-speed, two-lane roadway with traffic following you, it is important to signal well in advance before making your turn without slowing abruptly. This allows drivers behind you to anticipate your intentions and adjust their speed accordingly, promoting smooth traffic flow and reducing the risk of rear-end collisions. By signaling early, you communicate your planned maneuver to other road users and give them sufficient time to react safely. This proactive approach to signaling helps maintain predictability on the road and fosters a safer driving environment for everyone.
