If you plan to turn beyond an intersection, you must...

• A. Turn immediately
• B. Accelerate
• C. Slow down and let the vehicle pass first so you can give extra room to the bicycle
• D. Sound your horn

Answer: (C)

When you plan to turn beyond an intersection, the important idea is to yield to cyclists and give them space. Slow down and wait for the bicycle to pass or clear the area so you aren’t cutting them off as you complete your turn. This reduces the chance of a close encounter with a rider who may be traveling straight or turning through the intersection.

Turning immediately, accelerating to rush the turn, or using the horn doesn’t provide the safe, predictable interaction that cyclists need. Turning abruptly or speeding can surprise or crowd the rider, and honking can startle rather than prevent a collision.
