No left turn.

3. Excessive speed:

4. To see objects in their blind spot when changing lanes, drivers should check:

5. To help prevent crashes, you should:

Communicate with other road users.

Ignore other drivers on the road.

Drive only on side streets and back roads.

Use your emergency signals or horn when appropriate.
