How do you make a right turn when driving?

I’m learning to drive for the first time right now. I know that you can turn at some stoplights on red, but I want to make sure that I know how to make a right turn safely before I start trying to do that! Do you have any tips?

It’s great that you’re doing your research and trying to be careful! Here are the steps you’ll need to follow to make a right turn safely while driving:

As you approach the turn, apply

to slow down.

Try to get your car as far to the right as possible.

Turn on your turn signal.

Look for any pedestrians or bicyclists in your path and yield to them.

If the coast is clear, make the turn slowly. Try to keep your car close to the curb as you do this to avoid accidentally getting into the other lane.

Remember, practice makes perfect.

While you’re learning more about driving safety, why not learn about your insurance options too? The

app can help you find the best rates on the coverage you need in a matter of minutes. Just download the app, answer some quick questions, and choose from competitive quotes from 50-plus top insurance companies. Jerry takes care of the rest!

What Others Are Asking

How many cars are in Kentucky?

I just bought a second car to go off-roading in Eastern Kentucky. While I’m excited, it got me thinking. If I own two cars so I can use one for this purpose—and since I’m far from the only one—that must mean there are a ton of cars in this state. How many cars are there in Kentucky?

Can I have my car towed without the keys?

I lost my keys at some point during the day while I was at work, but I can’t leave my car where I parked it overnight—am I able to have my car towed back home even without the keys?

What is the number one unsafe driving behavior?

I need to know this for my driving class, but I can’t find a clear answer anywhere. What’s the most dangerous driving habit?
