If you notice you are close to an intersection but in the wrong lane for a turn, what is the appropriate action?

A. Immediately make an illegal turn
B. Stop in the middle of the intersection
C. Drive to the nearest exit and find an alternate route
D. Proceed to the next intersection, make the turn from the correct lane, and circle back

The correct answer is: D. Proceed to the next intersection, make the turn from the correct lane, and circle back

The appropriate action when you find yourself in the wrong lane as you approach an intersection is to proceed to the next intersection and make the turn from the correct lane. This approach prioritizes safety and adherence to traffic laws, ensuring that you do not create a hazardous situation by making a sudden or illegal turn. Making illegal turns can lead to accidents and confusion for other drivers, while stopping in the middle of the intersection could obstruct traffic and create a dangerous scenario for yourself and others. Driving to the nearest exit could unnecessarily complicate your route and lead to longer travel times; it's often not the most efficient solution. By choosing to continue to the next intersection, you allow for a safe, legal, and predictable way to navigate the roadway without interfering with other vehicles.
