Which of the following rules about turning is FALSE?

• A. When making turns, go from one lane to the other as directly as possible without crossing lane lines.
• B. Where there are no signs to control turning, you must turn into the lane farthest from the one you came from.
• C. When making a right turn, avoid swinging wide to the left.
• D. When making a left turn, avoid cutting the corner sharply.

Answer: (B)

Turning safely means entering the correct lane on the road you’re turning onto with as few lane changes as possible and without crossing lane lines. When there are no signs directing turns, you should end up in the lane closest to the one you started from. Turning into the farthest lane would require crossing more lanes and can surprise or collide with vehicles in those lanes, so that statement is not correct. Keep in mind the other safe-turn practices: for a right turn, stay toward the right and avoid swinging into lanes on the left; for a left turn, avoid cutting the corner too sharply so you don’t drive into oncoming traffic or into another lane.
