- In this video we discuss making a left turn at a complex intersection and all the things you need to be thinking about and aware of during the process. To learn more, please visit our website at www.zula.ca.
Once someone honked to ask me to go at left turn, I couldn't see well so i didn't go. And a sec after he honked there was a car speeding right pass me. Would've got bad crush if felt being rushed.
good decision, you literally safe yours and that speeding life as well.
The best and most comprehensive lecture about the left turn, which I have ever heard. Thank you. Best wishes to you and your students!
Yes the best
what happens if the opposite side is making a left turn at the same time as you
Shayan, this video and many of your other videos have really been super helpful in clarifying a lot of finer points in driving safely in Canada. Thank you for building this great learning resource for the public. I cleared my Class 5 road test today (transitioning from a foreign license), after pouring over many of your videos. Your suggestion about prepping the mind during a test to deal with anxiety was something that really helped calm me and focus on the job at hand. As you said, it doesn't matter if one passes on the first try or the fifth, in the grand scheme of things, it's safe driving skills for the long term, and treating the assessment as objective feedback to improve upon, which count. Thank you very much!
You have brilliantly illustrated all the possible things that can go wrong by using your "waiting position". The correct waiting position is behind the stop line, just like when you're waiting for the light to change.
Also, never block the crosswalk.
So helpful. I made several mistakes on making a left turn, now I know what to do and do it confidently.
This is the best video on RUclips for learning left turns. No other video gives this level of detail or in such a simple way. Great job.
It was so useful and comprehensive! There is nothing to add up to these explanations. Thanks for sharing it 🙏
your so calm at explaining everything and very especific and covering all bases thank you! this is very important information
thanks so much, I used to be really confused when making a left turn at intersections before, after I watched your video, I pass my class 5 road test on the first try. Thanks again
Really one of the best videos on left turn amongst a tonne of random videos. Glad i was able to watch it. You explained the concept extremly clearly and kudos for the effort.
You and Rick from Smart drive are one of the best instructors on RUclips, thank you so much for your great detailed videos and helping people pass the test and become better drivers.
Thank you so much for this information, so helpful!! I appreciate how you really go through each step with clear explanations and in a calm way!
Awesome, you nailed it, such a better way of explaining all points i have ever seen
Thanks a million! I really appreciate your effort in teaching.
Even I took a lesson from this cuz I was so used to just creeping towards the middle soon as I had the green light but that waiting position and yellow light creep is very helpful 👍. Thank you. Stay safe everyone.
Thank you so much. Very helpful. I didn't know about the waiting position being further back
very useful great explanation. about to do my road test later and you cleared up my confusion thank you.
This this The Best video on Left turns at intersections... and the options I have and what actions I should do in the different scenarios... Thank you so much.
This lesson is amazing. Especially for someone who is a first time driver, who is nervous. Very detailed explanation which I really needed. Very clear instruction.👍
Amazing explanation, just what I was looking for. Thank you so much!!
Fantastic! Thank you for all tips!
Thanks for the presentation,I will have to watch it a few more times to get the full understanding.
I just passed my test, I couldn't take any warm-up lessons but your videos took me 90% there!! Thank you so much and you will have my full recommendation!!
Wow. This guy is very detailed!!
Great instructions, thank you so much! Helped me a lot in my test :)
Man!! You have made it so easy to understand the Left Turn!! God bless you. Excellent video. Huge thumbs up for you!!
Bro, this is amazing. Helps a ton!
Your video is super helpful! Thank you!
The best content on youtube.
This is so helpful! During my road test, I skipped your '3rd scenario' and went from 2nd to 4th, and the examiner failed me as it was, according to him, a ticket-able offense.
Great explanation. I'm having difficult knowing what a safe gap looks like visually during high traffic hours when I'm waiting to make my left turn. I feel like I just can't tell how fast the cars are going and what the distance of a safe gap looks like. This makes me quite nervous as I find myself in the waiting position often when the light turns yellow.
Outstanding!!! No more doubt on left turn. Great Shayn
Very helpful! My instructor didn’t explain in such detail
Explained beautifully!
Finnally i understood all the cases. Thanks!
This is very helpful. Thank you!
omg thank you!!! AMAZING explanation
Honestly this is very helpful thumbs up
Amazing video. Thank you!
Best video i have ever seen, thanks
Very useful and well-paced video .
thank you sir ZULA.
The best video ever.
It's really helpful. I faced the last scenario; a big car blocked my view of the incoming car.
Thank you so much and you explained it clearly
Wow this is super helpful. Thank you
Thanks for this video. The 3rd one happened to me today.
Well explained and clear.
Thank you for this!
Excellent explanation...
Very informative video Thanks a lot
Great video..
Thanks that was best explanation.
what amazing explanation
Thanks 🙏🏻 very useful and understandable
Nice explanation👍🏻
thank you
very details
Wow super helpful!
So helpful thanks a lot !!
great video thank you so much! :)
Very good. TY.
Wonderful... I learned a lot. But what if you're caught out in the middle section and it does turn red. Would it count against us if we just went straight to avoid on coming traffic?
great course
Nice vidéo...what if in the case you showed when turning left some pedestrian on your left jumps suddenly and you have then to stop in the intersection but as it's red light so the traffic on your right has green light, what if this right traffic speeds up while you stop suddenly in the intersection when some pedestrian jumps on your left? What is the best practice in this case? I guess as there should not be more than one vehicle in one intersection, in addition to the traffic behind you, even the traffic on your right Should not also speed up, ie it should stay at the stop line, before you clear the intersection right?
Pls talk about same scenarios with lights that has arrows , common Chicago
Very helpful
Sir, please tell me where should be back wheels on waiting area in left turn green light? Pls reply
Nice 👍
What a fucking masterpiece of a video!
Hi Shayan, Thanks for your exquisite explanations, it was really helpful.
Suppose I am in the 2nd scenario, and a car on the opposite road is turning it's left, which is certain in the majority of cases, who's having right-of-way? Is it me, other car or both can turn left at the same time?
Hi Jerin, you are welcome. As for your question, usually, the opposing cars waiting to turn left do not interfere with our ability to make our turn when it's safe to do so. The key word here is safe. In other words, if the car waiting turn left across from you is blocking your view of oncoming traffic, then you need to wait until they turn so that you can see it's clear, or when the light turns yellow, we start rolling forward, looking for a safe gap to complete our turn. I hope this helps.
Hi Shayan thanks for the wonderful video. One scenario that I'm not sure who has the right of way ... If a vehicle has a dedicated left turn and at the same time another oncoming vehicle is trying to turn right, then who has the right of way if the streets have only 1 lane?
Hi Arnab,
If you are facing a green arrow then you have the right of way. If you are facing a regular green light you must yield to the oncoming traffic if making the turn would mean that they would need to slow down for you or cover their brake.
Do understand scenario 2. Why would a car hit me from behind on a left turn if I’m waiting. I’m waiting in the left turning lane 🤔
What about the cars who want to go straight that are behind me??
I was taught to have wheels turned .
Now you say no. No wounder I failed my drives test. Everyone if another mind of ideas. Beginners are not aware..Ok Now I will watch your film.
When we are at the waiting position, the traffic is busy, then we have to turn left when light turn red.
So basically once you’ve committed to turrning left you should have your back tires in the waiting position ASKING the oncomers to yield. When lights start to turn to yellow, you should already be inside the intersection, and at that point you’re “NOT ASKING” anymore for them to yield. Lol.
I failed Abbotsford because I was waiting with my back wheels in the crosswalk. That’s so messed hp
Hi Zula, I have a question, What if youre trying to make left turn on a flashing green and there are cars in front of you also trying to make a left turn. In this case you won't be able to see the traffic coming from the left lane because there are cars blocking your view and its a flashing green light meaning you have to wait for a pedestrian to push the button in order to get a chance to turn. What action should I do in this type of situation? Should i wait longer for someone to push the button? cuz i also dont want to impede the traffic behind me if I do that. Thanks in advance Zula.
Hi Fredz, is there a particular intersection that you're thinking about? Please send me the address so I can look it up on Google Maps. Thanks!
@@ZulaDrivingSchool Hello sir, yeah so it happened on Fraser and 28th ave E. It was raining that time i was practicing and it took me awhile to make a left turn I was kinda worry if i was already impeding the traffic behind me as I couldn't see what's happening on the left side of the traffic, and there were cars in front me blocking my views. I made it thou but just about but i was worried as i cant steer my wheel . So that's what happened, sir.
@@ferdzalmarines4086 Don't worry about impeding the traffic behind you when waiting to turn left since we are all sharing the road. The important things are to signal before you start slowing down so other behind you have proper time to react. If you end up sitting there while the light is green for 3 minutes because you can't see or past the vehicle in front of you waiting to turn left then so be it. It's a patience game. But make sure you stay focused on not only the oncoming traffic but also your light (as it may change) and any pedestrians coming up to use the crosswalk on the left. Hope that helps.
@@ZulaDrivingSchool oh..okay. So just take my time then til I get the chance to get a safe gap or wait until a pedestrian press the button when in doubt. Ok ill keep that in my mind. I was kinda worry cuz i was just sittin there for a quite awhile waiting and yeah I didnt wanna make the other dirvers behind me to get frustrated from waiting for me to get a move. But yeah thank you so much for your reply I appreciate it,sir.
For scenario 2, wouldn’t keeping your back wheels in the crosswalk block the way of pedestrians? What if you’re waiting for oncoming traffic and pedestrians try to cross behind you?
Pedestrians don't cross cutting the ongoing traffic. So, for scenario 2, that crosswalk is prohibited for pedestrians. Feel free to block it...
@@iamsm3828 ,thank you for clarifying.i had the same question in my mind.But you explained well.No confusion now!
Please prayy for my hair and driving in America.
I'm there and what do I need to do ? That's funny
hey I just got honked today LOL
Another thing to look at is is there a cop waiting on my right 😄 who'll be behind me after I turn
this is contradicting what my last examiner told me to do it's super confusing
Perhaps if you share more info as to what had happened and what your examiner said, we can try and clarify things for you.
So technically you CAN turn left on a red?
The point to take is that you are not supposed to stay at intersection if you are already drive to the intersection. You have to clear the intersection, so if see yellow turn into red, now that you know oncoming traffic stops (mostly like), you have a chance to clear the intersection.
If you stay at intersection, you are blocking traffic flow to your left. But if you are coming to the intersection (did not pass stop line) and light turn into yellow or red, you must stop and not
cross the waiting zone.
سلام لطفا ویدیو ها رو حداقل با زیرنویس فارسی بذارید...
hurrryyyyy this video is so slow with him drawing perfectly.. hahah
Yo bro can you teach me to drift so I can pick up mad bitches??
At least you could use green marker to show a green light. It’s really confusing when you paint the circle in Red and say now the light is green.
it ain’t that hard to tell 😂
Thank you. I failed my test as I froze due to obstruction of view of oncoming traffic. I now know exactly what I am supposed to do!
Thanks for the explanation on left turn. I used to be afraid to make left turn at a four way intersection where the protected left turn is off and the regular green is on and no oncoming traffic. Now I understand. Thanks a lot
Best explanation thus far about left turns, kudos to you bro!
Awesome video! You are so clear in your instructions and I like that you explain the logic behind each steps. The diagrams are a helpful visual as well.
And by the way you said something very important at the end of your video, (PLAN BEFORE YOU ENTER THE INTERSECTION), I agree 100%, you have no right to change your mind in a middle of the intersection
Fantastic video. Simple and efficient.
Thank you for your tips. Very helpful.
Thanks for sharing important tips
great explanation! Thank you.
clear information, Very helpful thanks!
Very Useful Video on Intersections
