What should you be aware of when turning left?

  1. Cyclists and pedestrians

  2. Oncoming traffic

  3. Vehicles in the blind spot

  4. Road signs

The correct answer is: Cyclists and pedestrians

When turning left, it is important to be aware of both cyclists and pedestrians. While oncoming traffic and vehicles in the blind spot are also potential hazards while making a left turn, they are not the most important considerations. Cyclists and pedestrians can often be harder to see and their movements can be less predictable compared to vehicles. Additionally, the focus is often on oncoming traffic while making a left turn, making it easier to miss any cyclists or pedestrians in the vicinity. Therefore, it is crucial to be vigilant and cautious of their presence while making a left turn. Road signs may also be important to follow, but they do not directly impact the safety of turning left.
