What a missed question actually gets you

One question, start to finish. This is the loop the diagnostic runs on every weak spot it finds.

  1. 1

    You pick the tempting answer

    Right-of-way · Left turns

    You are turning left at an intersection. A car coming toward you has its right turn signal on. You should:

    Turn left — the oncoming car is turning away from your path.Your answer
    Wait until the oncoming car has actually begun its turn.Correct answer
    Sound your horn and complete the turn quickly.
  2. 2

    We name the misconception

    Why that answer is tempting

    A turn signal looks like a promise. It reads as information about what the other driver will do, so yielding feels unnecessary — you are being efficient, not careless.

    The rule you misunderstood

    A signal shows intent, not action. Drivers leave signals on from a previous turn, or change their mind mid-approach. You keep the duty to yield until the car is visibly committed to its turn.

  3. 3

    The handbook backs it up

    From the official handbook

    When turning left, yield the right-of-way to any approaching vehicle that is close enough to be a hazard. Do not rely on a turn signal alone — wait until the other vehicle has begun its turn.

  5. 5

    You drill the weak rule

    A focused drill is queued

    The same rule, reworded across new situations — unprotected left turns, oncoming cyclists, a signal left on by mistake — until you recognize the rule instead of the question.
