What should you do if you miss a turn and need to correct safely?

• A. Signal, safely move to the proper lane, and complete the maneuver or pull over if needed and safe
• B. U-turn immediately in the middle of the road
• C. Reverse back to the missed turn
• D. Continue straight and loop around later in traffic

Answer: (A)

When you miss a turn, the safest approach is to signal and then move to the proper lane if it’s safe to do so. Once in the correct lane, complete the maneuver when you have a safe gap, or pull over to a safe location and re-enter the route if conditions don’t permit the turn right away. This keeps you visible to other drivers, preserves traffic flow, and avoids risky actions. U-turns in the middle of the road are dangerous and often illegal, since they disrupt traffic and create a high risk of collision. Reversing back to the missed turn is also dangerous due to limited visibility and the chance of hitting another vehicle or pedestrian. Continuing straight and looping around later is not reliable and can cause confusion or disrupt traffic.
