If you swing wide to the left before turning right, what might another driver do?

Swinging wide to the left before making a right turn can signal to other drivers that you are preparing to make that turn. Drivers might interpret this movement as an indication that there is space to pass on the right side. This is particularly true for smaller vehicles that may see an opportunity to maneuver around you while they assume you will be turning left.

In urban areas or tighter streets, it is common for drivers to look for opportunities to overtake larger vehicles as they prepare for turns. If they see you moving to the left, they might believe that the right side is clear for them to pass, which can create a dangerous situation. It’s crucial for truck drivers to be aware of how their turning movements can be perceived and the potential actions of other drivers in response. This awareness can help ensure safety and prevent accidents during turns.
