You’re planning to turn right onto a major road at a Y-junction. Where should you position your vehicle in order to improve your view?

Explanation: Y-junctions can be deceptive because they often call for little change in direction. However, turning right, your view to the left may be restricted. At the mouth of the junction, positioning your vehicle at right angles to the major road will improve your view. This is particularly important if your vehicle has restricted view to the side; for example, a van.
