Master the Left Turn: Expert Driving Tips to Avoid Accidents

Safe Left Turns: Avoiding a Common Driving Mistake Many drivers make the mistake of cutting the corner when turning left, often invading the oncoming lane. This dangerous maneuver can lead to accidents and is a common cause for failing driving tests. Autoescuela Merinero, a driving school with 50 years of experience, recently highlighted this issue in a short video. "Many drivers, when turning left, invade the lane of oncoming traffic without realizing it," said the instructor in the video. "The key is not to cut the curve. Go straight until you find the lane you want to merge into." The video demonstrates the correct technique, showing how to make a 90-degree turn to safely navigate the intersection. This simple yet effective method can significantly improve driving safety and help drivers avoid accidents and test failures. By following this advice, drivers can improve their skills and contribute to safer roads.
