Mind the following tips if you prepare to turn:
1) Slow down.
2) Be alert for traffic on all sides. Especially check for motorcycles and bicyclists.
3) Remember that your rear wheels will travel inside the path of the front wheels, nearer to the curb (right turn) or to traffic headed toward you (left turn).
4) Watch for pedestrians, bicyclists and moped riders, especially on right turns. It is hard to see them in traffic.
