What is the danger of swinging wide to the left before a right turn?
- A.Swinging wide is always illegal
- B.It makes the trailer turn faster
- C.Drivers behind may think you are turning left and try to pass on your right
- D.There is no danger if you signal
Correct answer
C. Drivers behind may think you are turning left and try to pass on your right
Why
Your vehicle language must match your intention. A wide left swing with a right signal confuses following drivers, and the ones who guess wrong end up in your off-tracking path.
