What is crucial for your safety when making a right turn?

Turning without signaling
Driving as fast as possible
Checking for pedestrians and other vehicles
Using the left turn signal

The correct answer is: Checking for pedestrians and other vehicles

When making a right turn, checking for pedestrians and other vehicles is crucial for your safety because it helps ensure that the intersection is clear and that you do not collide with anyone who may be crossing the street or who may be traveling parallel to you. Pedestrians may be in a crosswalk, and other vehicles could be approaching from different directions, including oncoming traffic or vehicles that are also preparing to turn. This thorough scan of your surroundings allows you to anticipate and react to any potential hazards, promoting a safer driving experience for everyone on the road. Failing to check for these elements can lead to accidents, which is why this step is so important when making a right turn.
