How should two cars turning left in open intersection place themselves?

When different directions are separated except for the intersection and there 's no lantern to stop, what are you supposed to do if both cars are waiting in the middle to turn left … and to conclude on the block' view of s? ! How should cars disporrsi? The other car is always at his side in a half blocks from my point of view of cars coming, so I don 't even know when it' s safe to turn.

A car turning left shouldn’t block your view of oncoming cars. He blocks the view of the lane you’d be going into if you were going straight.

Sucks to live in the states hey. Its pretty common sense though, You dont drive into the intersection until the road is clear, you both turn in and away from each other. If you dont know how to turn, how did you get a licence.

ideally you should never end up in the middle you should wait till you can turn without stopping but
If I’m understanding what your saying your supposed to pull all the way nearly to the curb in front of you
so that the other car is behind and to your left instead of in front and blocking your view of on coming traffic
if the other car is blocking and you cannot get into this position either stay in the lane with your turn signal on an wait for them to clear the intersection or go up a block and then make a u turn.

In situations like this, I wait until the way is clear to go into the middle to turn so I don’t end up blocking someone’s way or vice versa. If in doubt, let the other driver go first.

its always best to wait to see what is behind that car. Dont really be worried about the car turning left in front of you. Just make sure that if that car does make its turn that there is nothing behind it or coming up on the lane next to it. Once you make sure that there is nothing there just complete your turn. It gets tricky if the car turning is a big truck or something you cant really see anything around. You can always wait till he completes his turn and then you go your seperate ways.

hi, before reaching the intersection, make note of the number and distances and speed of incoming vehicles., that way when you get to the turn, it will help you make the turn with confidence. the key is to look ahead.

Wait till the driver on the left turns first and then proceed if all is clear.
