How can you best manage space while preparing to turn?

The best way to manage space while preparing to turn is to create more space in front of your vehicle before slowing down and making the turn. Doing this allows for a smoother transition into the turn and helps to maintain control of your vehicle. By increasing the space in front, you give yourself time to assess the situation, ensuring that you can make the turn safely without disrupting the flow of traffic behind you.

It also helps prevent potential collisions with vehicles that might be following closely behind. Additionally, this approach can make it easier for drivers around you to understand your intentions, as they can see that you are preparing to slow down and turn. Managing space effectively in this way contributes to safer driving practices and can help prevent accidents.

Other strategies, such as signaling only when approaching an intersection, not maintaining speed, or waiting until the last moment to signal, do not provide the same level of safety and foresight necessary when executing a turn. They can result in confusion for other drivers and jeopardize safe navigation through intersections.
