What should drivers be aware of when turning left?

  1. Oncoming traffic

  2. Cyclists and pedestrians

  3. Speed bumps

  4. Parked cars

The correct answer is: Cyclists and pedestrians

Drivers should be particularly aware of cyclists and pedestrians when turning left because these road users are often present in the vicinity and can be vulnerable in such scenarios. Cyclists may be approaching from behind or alongside, and they can be easily overlooked, especially in the blind spots of vehicles. Pedestrians may also be crossing the road at intersections or waiting to cross, and failing to notice them can result in serious accidents. Therefore, keeping an eye out for both cyclists and pedestrians is crucial for ensuring their safety and preventing collisions when executing a left turn. This awareness promotes responsible driving and helps maintain a safer environment for all road users.
