What should you do after turning?

• A. speed up, check your mirrors, look for a speed limit sign
• B. stop immediately
• C. stay in lane and slow down
• D. honk to alert others

Answer: (A)

After turning, the goal is to rejoin traffic smoothly and at the right speed. Accelerate to match the flow of traffic once it’s safe, while quickly checking your mirrors to see what’s happening behind and beside you and to ensure you’re staying in your lane. At the same time, look for a speed limit sign on the new road, because the posted limit can change after a turn. This combination keeps you in control, helps you merge safely, and ensures you’re driving at the appropriate speed. Stopping immediately or slowing well below the flow of traffic would create a hazard, and honking to alert others isn’t the right response in this moment.
