What should you do after turning?

• A. Stop immediately
• B. Stay in your lane and slow down
• C. Speed up, check your mirrors, look for a speed limit sign
• D. Accelerate to the posted speed limit regardless of conditions

Answer: (C)

After finishing a turn, your next steps are to reestablish a safe speed and stay aware of the road around you. You should quickly check your mirrors to see traffic behind you and scan ahead for any hazards, then look for the speed limit sign to know the appropriate speed on the new stretch of road. When it’s safe and clear, smoothly resume your normal driving speed. Stopping right after a turn isn’t usually needed, and speeding blindly to the limit without checking traffic or signs can be dangerous, while simply staying in the lane and slowing down doesn’t address reestablishing your speed or confirming the limit.
