Just before beginning to steer into a right turn at an intersection, you should:

• A. Release the brake and accelerate
• B. Re-scan the intersection
• C. Turn the steering wheel first
• D. Activate the right turn signal

Answer: (B)

Focus on updating your safety check right before you commit to the turn. Re-scanning the intersection ensures that nothing has changed since you last looked—someone running a red light, a cyclist or pedestrian entering your path, or a vehicle pulling out from a driveway or side street. This renewed check helps you confirm there’s enough space and time to complete the turn safely and lets you adjust your speed or position if needed.

Signaling is important to alert others of your intention, but it doesn’t by itself guarantee safety. Re-scanning confirms the path is clear before you steer. Releasing the brake and accelerating or turning the wheel before you’ve rechecked can reduce your control and reaction time if a hazard appears.
