Turning right at traffic lights

When it comes to turning right at traffic lights, for some reason, a lot of learners struggle.

This is because you have to know where to position, when to go and worry about traffic lights too.

With enough practice, this can be easy to do but the main things to think about are:

Positioning correctly to allow other vehicles to keep moving

Keeping an eye on the oncoming traffic so that you can go when there is a gap

Keeping an eye on the traffic lights so that you don't waste time when it's your turn to go.

Reference points make it easier when you first start driving. In the video above, there are lots of reference points to help you turn left and right.
