Before turning, you should:
- Use your signal. ✓
- Turn the wheel.
- Increase your speed.
- Change lanes.
Answer: A. Use your signal.
Before turning, use your signal.
Why this is the answer
The manual says to signal before you turn or change lanes so other road users know what you plan to do. It notes that the law requires signaling at least 100 feet ahead and suggests signaling before braking or starting the turn when possible. That makes signaling the step to take before a turn. The passage does not present turning the wheel, speeding up, or changing lanes as the preparation step for a turn.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Turn the wheel. — Turning the wheel is not the pre-turn step described; the manual says to keep your wheels straight until you actually begin the turn.
- C. Increase your speed. — Increasing speed conflicts with the manual's guidance to reduce your speed when preparing to turn.
- D. Change lanes. — Changing lanes is a different action; the manual mentions signaling for lane changes, but before a turn the step is to signal your turn.
Remember it
Signal first, then slow down and make the turn, so others know your plan before your car moves.
