Michigan Driver's Education Practice Exam

When turning, what is the last thing you should check?

The speed of oncoming traffic Your intended path of travel The vehicle's mirrors Fuel level

Correct Answer:

Your intended path of travel

Explanation:

When you turn, you finalize your plan by confirming the exact path you intend to follow. This last check ensures the lane you’ll end up in is clear and correctly positioned, so you won’t drift into another lane or hit an obstacle as you complete the turn. Earlier checks—like adjusting speed, signaling, and scanning for oncoming traffic, pedestrians, or bicycles—still matter, but the final step is to verify that the path itself is safe and legal before you commit to the turn. Fuel level or merely checking mirrors don’t determine the safety of the turn; the crucial last check is that your intended path is clear.
