Before making any turn, what should you check for?

Before making any turn, it is critical to check for pedestrians and cyclists to ensure their safety and prevent accidents. These road users are often less visible than vehicles, especially in certain conditions, and may not always have the right of way. By being vigilant for pedestrians, you can avoid collisions as they may be crossing the road or moving around in the vicinity.

While checking for other vehicles, traffic lights, and weather conditions are also essential parts of safe driving, particularly during turns, the immediate concern should be the more vulnerable road users, which include pedestrians and cyclists. Prioritizing their safety can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and promote a safer driving environment for everyone.
