Why: To signal a left turn using your hand, extend your left arm straight out the window. This informs other drivers of your intention to move left.
Why: In West Virginia, a left turn on red is only permitted when turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street. You must come to a complete stop and yield to all other traffic and pedestrians before proceeding.
Why: You must never cross a solid line immediately after entering or before exiting an expressway. These lines define the 'gore' area, which separates the entrance or exit ramp from the main travel lanes to ensure safe merging.
Why: No-Zones are the large blind spots around trucks and buses where the driver cannot see your vehicle. These dangerous areas are located at the front, rear, and both sides of the large vehicle.
Why: When preparing for a right turn, you must avoid swinging wide to the left as it can confuse other drivers and lead to collisions. Official guidelines state you must keep your vehicle in the proper lane and avoid moving into oncoming traffic during the maneuver.
