Driver’s Manual | 35 • Reduce your speed. • Be alert for traffic on all sides. Take special  caution to check for motorcycles. Most  crashes that involve motorcycles and other  vehicles are caused because the driver of the other vehicle has failed to see the motorcycle.  • Keep your wheels straight until you actually  begin to make your turn. If your wheels are  turned, and you are hit from behind, your  vehicle could be pushed into the oncoming lane of traffic. • Remember that your rear wheels will travel  inside the path of the front wheels, nearer  to the curb (right turn) or to traffic headed  toward you (left turn). • Watch for pedestrians, bicyclists and mo- ped riders, especially on right turns. They  are often difficult to see in traffic. • Be especially alert to individuals in wheel  chairs, people pushing strollers, or some- one pulling a wheeled suitcase behind  them. They may be closer to the ground  and hidden behind a car. Move into the left lane when you prepare to  turn. If the road you enter has two lanes, you must  turn into its left lane. Approach the turn in the left lane. As you pro- ceed through the intersection, enter the two-way  road to the right of its center line, but as close as  possible to the center line. Be alert for traffic that  approaches from the road to the left. Motorcycles  are often hard to see, which may make it difficult  to judge their speed and distance from you. The following illustrations show the correct  position of your vehicle for turns. These positions  are from requirements in the law and are not just  good advice. As you prepare to turn, get as far to the right  as possible. Do not make wide, sweeping turns.  Unless signs direct you to do otherwise, turn into  the right lane of the road you enter.
