When turning left onto a two-way street, what is the correct position you should take before turning?

To the left of the center line
Close to the center line
To the right of the center line
All the way to the right-hand side

The correct answer is: To the right of the center line

When turning left onto a two-way street, it is important to position your vehicle to the right of the center line in order to enter the lane on the other side safely. Option A is incorrect because being to the left of the center line can put you in the path of oncoming traffic. Option B is incorrect because being too close to the center line can also put you in the path of oncoming traffic and may also make it difficult for larger vehicles to pass you. Option D is incorrect because being all the way to the right-hand side can result in you turning into the shoulder or curb rather than the lane on the other side. Therefore, the correct position to take before turning left onto a two-way street is to the right of the center line.
