When turning left, how must vehicle 1 position itself regarding other vehicles?

  1. Move to the far right

  2. Stay at the intersection's edge

  3. Pull up to the middle of the intersection

  4. Reverse to a safer position

The correct answer is: Pull up to the middle of the intersection

When turning left, vehicle 1 must position itself correctly to ensure a safe and effective maneuver. By pulling up to the middle of the intersection, the driver can have a clearer view of oncoming traffic and any pedestrians that may be crossing. This positioning allows the driver to gauge gaps in oncoming vehicles effectively and make the turn safely without obstructing traffic. Staying at the intersection's edge might limit the driver's visibility and hinder the ability to assess when it is safe to turn. Moving to the far right could confuse other drivers about the intention to turn left. Reversing to a safer position is generally not recommended as it can create additional hazards, including the risk of colliding with vehicles behind. Thus, positioning oneself in the middle of the intersection, while ensuring it's safe to do so, provides the best opportunity to make a left turn effectively.
