How To Make Left Turns At Intersection

[@Monika-tv8np]

this is a great explanation. I had instructors who would never explain why you need to go into the middle of an intersection. I never understood that, so thank you.

[@boogiemasry3890]

@Lovely me this is my situation with my drivinng instructor right now. This is why im watching so many youtube videos. He aint teaching me nothing

[@laartwork]

Depends on state law. Some states require you move into intersection. In those states don't sit behind the crossing lines. You will get honked at

[@jimbeaux89]

Me and my wife were arguing about taking control of the intersection. This video helped prove that I do it right

[@PierrePaulDrivingSchool]

Sorry I have not responded. This comment made me laugh ! Couples argue over driving and the correct way all the time. I am very happy to have helped with the issue. Thank you and be safe

[@laartwork]

But in some states she is right

[@Inquirro]

The only thing I want to add. Imagine a situation: The traffic light is green, you want to turn left, there are already cars at the intersection. In this situation, you need to stay and not start moving, waiting until all the cars have cleared the intersection.

[@laartwork]

If there is no car in front of you... you have to pull forward and then make left according to California law

[@rich_banks4818]

Hey Mr Pierre Paul please post more contents. Your videos are very helpful.

[@christinahester8903]

Thank you for this video I have a road test coming tomorrow I'm from Jamaica Queens NY now I fully understand what I need to do.

[@diegolerma1516]

when making a left hand turn make sure that the drivers inform of you go first . then when you see that you have enough time to make a turn when there’s no car coming then make the turn

[@juzeljames7793]

thanks

[@Ledesma184th]

Thank you for your content. Turning at the left intersection has been my biggest weakness. I noticed at 5:24 you were supposed to yield the right of way to the pedestrian because while you had the green light, they also have the right to cross the street.

[@shayduncan6208]

The pedestrian remained on the sidewalk and did NOT step into the crosswalk. Also, like you stated, he had the light. All of these factors added up into his making the decision not to yield, because there was no one to yield to in that situation.

[@jayperez8458]

I just wanted to let you know that I passed my road test today and I’m still watching your videos 👍

[@Jean-Larack]

Good. Bon bagay. That's clear.

[@bluebird6448]

Thank you for uploading this instructive video

[@boldbeautiful4725]

Instructions are very clear and easy to understand

[@Ericaxv]

Excellent video, sir. I already subscribed, and I clicked and liked the video.

[@Cod80074]

This helped me a lot thank you so much my test is Tuesday

[@halimshijab4568]

This is video help me ❤❤ thanks for sharing

[@chicagogirl9862]

You talk to the point, thank you

[@sevinjzelikhova312]

Very good explanation thank you very much!

[@fluxcapacitor8416]

@2:20 do you have to wait for the car to stop?can i make rhe turn when the car is still far away?thanks

[@markalvincantos6166]

Thank you for this helpful video!

[@apl-h3q]

This was really helpful thank you. Left turns at intersection confuse me

[@alfredspicer3697]

Yes sir good video instructor i love this bredda.

[@fradj2008]

Thanks for your educative video, but my question is: after moving to the middle of the intersection where do I position the car because you have given two different instructions. Am I to align my front bumper with the yellow line or align my left mirror with the yellow line? It sounds confusing. Thanks

[@babatascarlett4854]

Great instructions

[@CTLanni]

You are one of the few people who knows the correct procedures (according to the way we were taught in Driver Education class). My only suggestion is that you get rid of the inset video of your face. It's not necessary, and it hides the signal lights in some instances.

[@goodfay]

It helps me for observation practice

[@pixiequeens1525]

Great video, thx. But when turning left into a two lane, do you have to turn to the right lane every single time? Or will the instructor sometimes tell you to stay in the left lane?

[@chicagogirl9862]

In green arrow, while turning left Do I need to take care white lines of pedestrian's that Im crossing over it?

[@visionaryapril_art]

Great video thank you so much !

[@stubbie4421]

Very helpful

[@bgreen643]

I'm taking lessons now with a school and I keep steering the wheel too much. My instructor tells me that and corrects me but I still keep doing it. I feel so dumb. Driving is so hard for those of us are new.

[@fernandoaraujo5507]

I was in the middle and the light turned red and I was stuck in the middle and I went to make the left turn but the other car peeped at me. Was I at wrong for going?

[@kelseyhastings3357]

No they were in the wrong, you were right. They have to wait until the intersection is clear AND the light turns green. If the light is green and intersection isn’t clear yet, they can’t go :)

[@AimieNeish]

Ur supposed to go on yellow

[@kelseyhastings3357]

@@AimieNeish not necessarily because what if the traffic going straight goes on the yellow? Then you could get t-boned. You can go on red if you’re already in the middle of the intersection. And if a car is still in an intersection on green they need to wait until the intersection is clear to go :)

[@PierrePaulDrivingSchool]

No you are not in the wrong. Sometimes you have to wait for the red light especially in NY traffic. Do not go on a yellow light if you do not feel like the on coming traffic is going to stop. As a driver we should be able to time the cars if you do not feel safe do not go. Let's not assume everyone is going to stop if they get a yellow light. People usually go faster to go through the yellow light. Better to be safe and drive safe . A accident is an unforeseen event also do not let anyone honking behind make a move that will cause you to be in an accident or be pulled over.

[@BeastTube]

your video is useful, but your picture in the screen is bigger and blocks view; please make the size of your picture smaller, and not blocking the view much.

[@insunghan7120]

What if traffic keeps coming when you are near center of intersection?

[@mikepeifer6502]

I’m from Phoenix, AZ and lived in Denver for a few years, literally everyone stays behind the line while making left turns at lights in Colorado. So many times I would be behind someone, turning left, and the light would turn green, they would stay behind the line and then turn yellow and they wouldn’t go. Would drive me crazy. Seriously was starting to think it was a Colorado law or something.

[@grahamsmith6210]

why do you check mirrors in shoulders when there's no lane to the left of you?

[@jewelbass2914]

there could be pedestrians

[@grahamsmith6210]

@@jewelbass2914 wouldn't you see them just by looking at the crosswalk?

[@jewelbass2914]

@@grahamsmith6210 most of the time, yes you would- however, there will be some times where pedestrians will not abide by their laws and will try to rush around your car and if you don't catch them in your peripheral vision before you start moving there's a chance of hitting them. It doesn't happen often, but it has happened before. Just think of it more as an extra precaution, as you can't always expect that others will follow the laws of the road. There also have been a few instances of people going down the wrong side of the road, so it'll help to also make sure there's not an idiot over on that side or someone getting impatient and trying to go around you and make a turn from the lane to your left (which as stupid as it sounds, I've actually seen happen before). I'm not gonna say I shoulder check everytime myself, but a little glance at your side mirror is always a good idea. I hope that this made some since to you, I'm not the best at explaining things. 👍

[@PierrePaulDrivingSchool]

Sorry for the late response. We check it just to make sure so no pedestrian, bicyclist's, skateboarder or even a electronic scooter has come into the area of the blind spot. Happens in Brooklyn or even in the city all the time. Better to be safe the sorry guys

[@helenayoung4064]

Is this New Jersey?

[@helenayoung4064]

?? lm asking you is this for New Jersey?

[@demih.3609]

It’s nyc

[@mostafahilmi4104]

Thank u

[@tereamusic]

why do you keep going into the right lane after making the left turn?

[@VictoriaRosario]

No you stay in the left until after you turn

[@cocoshenel]

Always stay in furthest right lane after a turn. If you're going to make a left turn after the turn, then stay in the left lane or move over into the left lane.

[@grahamsmith6210]

probably because he wants to show the viewer the proper way to get into the left lane + turn

[@shayduncan6208]

As a student driver, students should always be in the right lane. That is what he's also showing the public and any driving student who is watching this.

[@dior9102]

Im confused can't you turn at intersections even if the light is red? So why didn't he turn? Did I miss something?

[@rhealatimer127]

Hi! Only some states in US allows left turns on red hope that helps!

[@karoonboomie2813]

Wow! Great video thx! I guess Welcome to America!! Nowadays you can get the driving tests in all kinds of languages?????????????????????????

[@richenergy1045]

As soon as he spoke, all I thought about was Haiti 🇭🇹. Then I looked at his name, “Pierre”… I know when I hear my fellow Haitians😅

[@ashantajarawayoung2421]

Hey your not doing hand over hand steering what’s up with that man

[@PierrePaulDrivingSchool]

You can do hand over hand or push and pull. I can drive doing both I guess it just depends on the day.

[@shayduncan6208]

To each his/ her own. Hand over hand steering is not a law.

[@shashankdegloorkar]

PIP videp shows your car is Right Hand Drive

[@treeshaholic]

I live around there😂

[@ultrasafeadvanceddrivertra9720]

Wow. Instructors should really write a script before doing these videos. He's omitting a lot of information. It takes me 20+ minutes to explain how to do the turn, the dangers of it, and how to eliminate the dangers.

[@ryans413]

Your turns are way to slow and dangerous
