Question: To make a left turn at an intersection you should:

Answer options:

  • Cut the corner ✅ Turn from the left lane into the matching left lane of the destination road
  • Turn from the right lane
  • Yield to no one

Correct answer: Turn from the left lane into the matching left lane of the destination road

Explanation: Under the Québec Highway Safety Code, safely executing a left turn requires initiating the maneuver from the leftmost lane and completing it in the corresponding left lane of the target road to ensure predictable traffic flow. Cutting the corner is dangerous and illegal because it risks head-on collisions, while turning from the right lane cuts across active traffic. Additionally, drivers must always yield to oncoming vehicles and pedestrians before turning. On the SAAQ written exam, mastering precise lane selection rules is critical, as proper positioning and yielding during turns are key testing points for preventing intersection collisions.
