Turning left at a busy intersection can sometimes get a little hairy depending where you are in Central Florida.
How assertive can you be while making that turn is what one viewer wants to know.
James, from Orlando, writes in this week:
Can you wade out into the middle of the road when making a left turn at a traffic light? And if you haven’t turned yet and the light turns red, can you still complete that left turn?
In Florida, a vehicle can enter the intersection on a green light waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear. Then when you feel you can safely make a left turn, you are free to do so.
"A couple of factors that are important for motorists to know are to make sure that they have enough room to enter the lane of traffic once they make the left turn and to not block the intersection," said Sgt. Jeffery Blye, of the Orlando Police Department.
Many people panic when they are in the middle of the intersection when making a left and the light turns red, but Blye said you need to keep moving forward.
"Once a vehicle enters the intersection, if they are caught in the intersection on the red to make that left turn, they have the right-of-way to make that left," he said.
The absolute worst thing you can do when the light turns red? Try and back up to the intersection or stop bar.
"So once they are past that stop bar, they have entered the intersection," Blye said. "They need to proceed through their turn or through the intersection when it is safe to do so."
If you don't move, you would get a moving violation for blocking the intersection, which — in the city of Orlando — is $164.
