Before turning, final check should be in the direction of intended path. Which option is correct?

• A. In the opposite direction
• B. Upwards toward the sky
• C. Toward the curb
• D. In the direction of your intended path of travel

Answer: (D)

The final check before turning is about confirming that the area you are about to move into is clear. You want to look in the direction you plan to travel so you can spot any cars, pedestrians, cyclists, or other hazards in your intended path as you begin the turn. That direct scan helps you stay in your lane and avoid surprises the moment you start to move.

Choosing the option that says look in the direction of your intended path of travel is correct because it directly verifies the space you will occupy after you turn. Looking in the opposite direction, upward toward the sky, or toward the curb doesn’t help you judge the safety of the lane you’re entering and could lead to misjudging your position or missing a hazard.
