What should you do when you are ready to make an unprotected left turn?

Turn as quickly as possible
Look both ways before turning
Speed up to make the turn
Find a gap in the traffic

The correct answer is: Find a gap in the traffic

When making an unprotected left turn, it is important to find a gap in the oncoming traffic before proceeding. Option A, turning as quickly as possible, can be dangerous as it may cause you to miss potential hazards. Option B, looking both ways before turning, is a general safe driving practice but does not specifically address the scenario of an unprotected left turn. Lastly, option C, speeding up to make the turn, is also dangerous as it can increase the risk of accidents and is also against traffic laws. Therefore, option D, finding a gap in traffic and making the turn when it is safe to do so, is the most suitable and safe option for making an unprotected left turn.
