“After checking your mirrors and signalling, you need to make sure that you are in a good road position for the turn.
For a basic left turn, you will keep your normal road position. If you were to move to the left, you would risk driving in the gutter where debris might damage your tyres. You would also risk hitting the curb when turning.
Moving to the right would put you dangerously close to approaching traffic. By maintaining your normal road position, you will be well positioned to turn the corner when you arrive.
The key points are:
– Keeping your normal road position
– Moving to the left would risk tyre damage or hitting the curb
– Moving to the right would be hazardous to approaching traffic”
