When making left turns, what should you remember?

Make the turn from the left lane
Signal for at least 200 feet ahead
Check for pedestrians in the crosswalk
Tap your brakes to warn other drivers

The correct answer is: Signal for at least 200 feet ahead

Making left turns can be a potentially dangerous maneuver as it requires crossing over oncoming traffic. Therefore, it is important to remember to signal well in advance, at least 200 feet ahead, to alert other drivers of your intention to turn. This is especially crucial for drivers behind you who may be traveling at higher speeds. Option A and C are incorrect because they are general good driving practices, but do not specifically address what to remember when making left turns. Option D is incorrect because tapping your brakes, especially without a turn signal, may cause confusion for other drivers and potentially lead to accidents.
