Why should you not turn your steering wheel to the left while waiting for oncoming traffic before a left turn?
- It wears out the front tires and steering parts faster while you wait
- It makes the brake lights of your car go out until you straighten the wheel
- If you are hit from the rear, the impact can push you into oncoming cars
- It causes the turn signal to cancel itself before you can start the turn
Show answer
Correct answer: If you are hit from the rear, the impact can push you into oncoming cars
With the wheels already turned, a hit from behind could shove your car across the path of oncoming vehicles.
