To avoid collisions when making a right turn, you should _____.

When making a right turn, it is essential to be as close as practicable to the right edge of the roadway. This positioning helps ensure that you are in the correct lane for turning and allows for smoother and safer maneuvering. Being close to the right edge not only enables better visibility of pedestrians, cyclists, and oncoming traffic but also helps prevent conflicts with vehicles that might be traveling straight through an intersection. By maintaining this proper lane position, you reduce the risk of collisions and enhance the predictability of your actions to other road users.

In contrast, driving as fast as possible increases the likelihood of losing control and misjudging the turn’s angle, while signaling at 50 feet before the turn could be considered somewhat safe, it might not adequately communicate your intentions to other drivers if they are not observing your approach closely. Additionally, the idea of only using turn signals when there are no other vehicles actually undermines safe driving practices; signals should always be used to indicate your intended actions, regardless of other vehicles present, in order to maintain clear communication on the road.
