You wish to turn right from a two-lane, two-way street into another. Your vehicle is so long that you must swing wide to complete the run. Which statement best describes how to execute the turn?

• A. Swing wide to complete the turn
• B. Stay between the two lanes and cut in early
• C. Turn tight to the curb as soon as possible
• D. Stop briefly in the intersection to wait for space

Answer: (A)

Long vehicles need a wide turning arc to complete a right turn safely. Because the vehicle is so long, trying to hug the curb or cut in early leaves too little room for the rear to clear the corner and can push you into the wrong lane. By swinging wide, you create enough space for the front to clear the corner and then enter the target street in its proper lane, finishing the turn smoothly. Remember not to stop in the intersection; complete the turn with room to straighten in the destination lane.
