Off-Tracking & Turning Wide

How should you make a tight right turn when you need extra room?

  • A.Swing fully into oncoming traffic before starting
  • B.Turn from the left lane at normal speed
  • C.Stop in the intersection and back up to reposition routinely
  • D.Turn wide as you complete the turn, using available space in the intersection, while watching that no one passes on your right
Correct answer

D. Turn wide as you complete the turn, using available space in the intersection, while watching that no one passes on your right

Why

Using space late in the turn, the button-hook style approach, keeps your trailer near the curb early so no one enters the gap. You still yield to any traffic in the space you need.
