How To Make Safe Left Turns At Intersections Across Oncoming Traffic: Don't Have A Wreck Like I Did!

[@RakibCan]

One thing commonly forgotten about while doing a left UN-protected turn is that, we pay attention to find a safegap from oncoming traffic but we forget that there maybe pedestrians on the crosswalk of the road that we're turning into. In an unprotected left turn, we need to check for safe gap from BOTH oncoming traffic AND pedestrians who may be using that crosswalk. A reminder for myself first and a reminder for all. Drive safe.

[@Quad373]

So the light turns red and theres a slow ass pedestrian crossing the street on the left. And im in the middle of the intersection, hell do I do then?

[@RakibCan]

@@Quad373 i would turn on the hazards and pray that no asshole starts driving into the intersection just because they got their green light. Meanwhile, i would wait for the slow-ass pedestrian to complete the crossing. Would i honk? Maybe i should not. But i might.

[@alexvang5639]

@@Quad373 You wait until the pedestrian finally and then you make the turn. The folks with the green light have the responsibility to wait for the intersection to clear.

Just to the video, you should see the tires in front touch the road Otherwise you are tailgating.

My first car accident happened when a woman turned at those “left turn yield on green light” intersections right when I was already passing straight on a green light. Her parents accused me of speeding but I was clearly following the speed limit. Good thing the cops knew better and gave her the ticket.

[@HowSkills]

Glad that worked out the right way for you. People are often quick to try to shift the blame even when they know they’re at fault.

[@despairingprincedeo1798]

I already have my license and is out of practice for a year. Was in a car accident a year ago with my mom driving that gave me ptsd even though the accident wasn't too bad and we only had light injuries that healed after a couple of months x3 The other driver pulled out without checking for traffic and did an unprotected left turn onto the main road while my mom was going 45, the speed limit, and we slammed straight into them. Since then I've been super scared of driving XD I barely drive around my own block and barely to the gas station now. I've been driving more lately as I came out of the ptsd shell but I still feel very scared of making turns so I decided to watch your video! Thanks for the video, it was very informative and helped me gain a bit of confidence. Especially the part with the gap! If i don't feel safe making a turn then I should just keep waiting without letting the cars behind me worry me too much

This instruction video is really good and covered a couple of mistakes I see almost every driver make. One is keeping tires pointed straight ahead while waiting . The second is pulling our straight and making a semi-circle. Too many people make a straight line when turning left. This actually puts the vehicle on the wrong side of the road and forces the driver to make a correction to avoid hitting the center divider, putting their car in the adjacent lane. Annoying and dangerous. You explained how to make the turn with simple instruction. Awesome job.

This is a good video on making left turns, I get nervous sometimes when making unprotected left turns on green light, especially when there's a lot of traffic, just 3 years ago I was in an accident making a left turn on green light, I was waiting at the intersection and the light turned green, at first I thought it was safe to go so I went, there was a median in the middle of the intersection, it was that kind of intersection, while I was making the turn I ended up hitting a car that was going in the opposite direction, at first I didn't see the car, it happened so fast, by that time it was too late, of course I was at fault and I got a traffic violation, lesson learned I guess, so now I try to be careful when making a left turn especially at a green light instead of a green arrow, watching your video helps.

[@messierthirtyone777]

Thanks for the video. Here in Canada, GTA to be specific, left turns get a little tense. The person behind starts to honk pressurizing you to make the left turn, there is a never ending barrage of on coming traffic which deprives you of a safe distance to make the turn, and when you do find a window pedestrians continue use the crossing, all of which leaves you stuck in the island. Every now and then,you'll find a driver stuck in the island ending up blocking the cross traffic.

[@HowSkills]

I hear you...left turns can be a very difficult thing to do, especially in situations like you described. Takes a lot of patience sometimes to wait for the right moment to make your turn while trying to ignore impatient drivers around you. Just never go until you feel it's safe, and not when the person behind you thinks you should go.

[@chiquita1bee]

Thank you so so so much! You explained everything crystal clear! I never understood how making a left turn on an intersection worked, I'd just follow my dad's orders. There was a time I entered the intersection and didn't know who to look out for so I tried making a left although there was a car going straight ahead already. Dad yelled to brake so I did and that scared me away from driving for a while. Problem is, he never really explained what my error was. But damn, this video is gonna push me directly to a driving test already! The intersection was the only thing holding me back. (And going reverse then parking, but whatever) Again, thank you!!

I am 29 just recently began driving, though I have had a license for 8 years (lot of hurdles in my life that were very difficult to overcome, I worked hard to be able to even get my license.) So I know the laws for the most part, but no one has ever taught me how to drive. I am trying to do everything I can to learn to be a better driver. I hate turning into traffic, and parking. I know how to park, but just in case I will park farther away, not in between vehicles, just in case I am the worst driver in the world. I'm confident, but caution is better than confidence with a 2 ton bullet. Everything I do feels like it is dictated by other, very rude, drivers. When they come behind me, I have to turn asap, even when I'm not comfortable, neither is it the safest. I almost caused an accident, as I almost hit another car turning into the lane next to the one I was leaving, in order to turn into their original lane. That was embarrassing and extremely dangerous. I pray that I get patient drivers who don't want to rush me into oncoming traffic. I'm trying to be better here, and I am grateful for these videos!

[@HowSkills]

Sounds like you’ve worked hard and gone through a lot to get your license! I understand what you’re saying, and I wish there were more patient drivers out there. It seems like a lot of people are rushing to get where they’re going and drive very aggressively and selfishly, which makes it more dangerous for everyone. You do have to drive defensively because of this, and always watch out for the other driver. If they put you in an unsafe situation, do all you can to avoid an accident, which it sounds like is what you try to do. The more you drive and learn about driving, the better you’ll be able to handle different situations safely. It’s a good sign to me that you’re watching videos to become a better driver, and I think you’re on your way to becoming a great one! Thanks for watching, and take care.

Just wanted to add that in most european countries the traffic lights are placed only on the near side of the intersection, which means that you aren't able to see the light changing to yellow/amber after you enter the intersection, while waiting for oncoming traffic. Having the lights on the far side would definitely make things easier imo

[@Robin_Bhan]

Best video on left turns at an intersection. I was not sure about the Yellow arrow. Thanks for explaining it!

[@ileen1231]

I’ve been needing a video like this, no one has been able to answer these simple questions that are super important! Thank you!!!! ✨

[@HowSkills]

You’re very welcome, and thanks for watching!

[@chakshu]

This is the best video telling the difference between green arrow and green circle light, can you make a video on turning right and going straight with cars turning towards their right.

[@jayasmrmore3687]

Right turn signals (which are usually rare) would likely be like a left turn one, except that for right turn you are even allowed to make the turn on red signal not just yield signal.

[@CrescentMoon566]

You are the best instructor out there

[@AnishBhola]

loved the video. Extremely practical and easy to follow.

[@GmaGpaAdventures]

Thank you very much for watching it and for leaving the kind comment!

[@lenchsumaya5298]

Thank you soooo much sir, I’m having trouble on intersection to turn left and also the rules of traffic light, thank you sooooo much, soon taking my road test!

[@HowSkills]

Best of luck on your road test…you’ll do great, I’m sure!

[@bradleysteeves3291]

AS A PROFESSIONAL POLICE DRIVING INSTRUCTORS, EXCELLENT VIDEO. ONLY THING I WOULD ADD IS SHOULDER CEHCKING LEFT FOR PEDESTRIANS OR CYCLISTS AFTER STOPPING IN THE INTERSECTION WAITING FOR A BREAK IN ONCOMIN TRAFFIC. NOT ALL INTERESECTIONS ARE WIDE 4-6 LANE CROSS STREEETS SOME ARE ONLY 2 LANES, SO SHOULDER CHELC LEFT IS MORE CRITICAL. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING MORE OF YOUR VIDEOS. GREAT EDITING AS WELL. WILL USE THESE IN MY CLass

[@HowSkills]

I appreciate the words of encouragement and the great advice…thanks for watching!

[@sarahjaneblack2452]

Omg your video is great. I'm coming over from Ireland for a holiday in 5weeks and have rented a car for 4days at the start. I was looking some information regarding light systems and anything extra. Your video is amazing and has definitely made me understand alot more. Thank you

[@cadysellers6244]

thank you this helped so much, i have horrible anxiety about turning at intersections and this video is gonna help calm my nerves

[@HowSkills]

Glad to hear it helped you. Intersections can be anxiety-inducing, but practice and knowing what to do in certain situations can make them a lot easier to deal with. You got this!

[@HowSkills]

Thank you very much for watching...I really appreciate it!

[@carleanbender3789]

I need a sticker after I passed my road test. "NEW DRIVER, PLEASE BE PATIENT" I hopes that helps. Lol

[@HowSkills]

That would be great for every new driver! Other drivers might give you a little more grace.

[@cc-ai-ni]

Can I get a foreign driver one

[@carleanbender3789]

@@cc-ai-ni Idk

[@gcfactorof7]

i would like to put that sticker too.. but the doubt and fear is also there knowing there are bad drivers who wont be considerate and might use that against you even if its their fault... i pray everytime i start to drive i wont encounter such...specially on freeways.. my God, guide and protect us new drivers..

[@HowSkills]

@gcfactorof7 Praying before you drive is probably something we should all do. Pray for ourselves to be patient and understanding, and pray to get the same back from other drivers. Take care and drive safe.

[@yokysniggalmao4255]
