What action should be taken if you cannot see oncoming traffic when turning left at an intersection?

Proceed cautiously with the turn
Wait until you have a clear view
Make the turn quickly
Signal and turn anyway

The correct answer is: Wait until you have a clear view

When turning left at an intersection and you are unable to see oncoming traffic, the appropriate action is to wait until you have a clear view. This is crucial for ensuring your safety and the safety of other road users. Having a clear view allows you to accurately assess whether it is safe to make the turn. It helps you identify the speed and distance of oncoming vehicles, making it easier to judge when to proceed. When visibility is obstructed, such as by buildings or other vehicles, rushing into a turn without the necessary information can lead to collisions. Waiting for a clear line of sight is a fundamental aspect of defensive driving, emphasizing the importance of making informed decisions based on visibility and the current traffic conditions. This approach reinforces the need for patience in driving situations where visibility is compromised.
