When turning left from the left lane, you should:

• A. Start from the left lane and turn into the closest lane to you
• B. Start from the right lane
• C. Turn into any lane as long as safe
• D. Turn into the center lane regardless of distance

Answer: (A)

Turning left from the leftmost lane means you should finish the turn in the lane that is closest to you on the street you’re entering. This keeps your path predictable and minimizes crossing multiple lanes, reducing the chance of weaving into traffic or clipping someone already in the cross street. Starting in the left lane positions you to end in the nearest cross-street lane, which aligns with how turns are normally executed and helps other drivers anticipate your movement. Turning into a farther or center lane after the turn would require crossing additional lanes, increasing risk and confusion for traffic around you.
