Took driver lesson but problems turning?

Question

took driver lesson but had problems turning,instructor said let go of gas but i was still too close to other cars,

Answer 1

Left turns. To make a left turn, drive close to the center divider line or into the left turn lane. Begin signaling about 100 feet before the turn. Look over your left shoulder and reduce your speed. Stop behind the limit line. Look left, then right, then left again and make the turn when it is safe. When you turn left, do not turn too soon and “cut the corner” of the lane belonging to the vehicles coming towards you.

Safety suggestion: While waiting to turn left, keep your wheels pointed straight ahead until it is safe to start your turn. If your wheels are pointed to the left and a vehicle hits you from behind, you could be pushed into oncoming traffic.

Left turn against a red light on a one-way street only. Signal and stop for a red traffic light at the limit line or corner. You may turn left into a left-moving one-way street if there is no sign to prohibit the turn. Yield to pedestrians, bicyclists or other vehicles moving on their green light.

Answer 4

question??

Answer 5

That is what the steering wheel is for.

The two concepts are advance and transfer.

That means how far forward will the truck travel before completing the turn.

Transfer is how far away from the previous line of travel the truck will be before you straighten the wheel.

When you approach a turn you mentally picture advance and transfer and you will smoothly go through that turn.

Unless there is ice of course.
