At a non-light controlled intersection, enter the intersection with your left turn signal operating, keeping your wheels straight ahead (to prevent you being driven into oncoming traffic if someone rear-ends your car) wait until all oncoming traffic clears the intersection or at least the distance to the nearest oncoming vehicle is such that you can make a safe left turn, then execute the turn.
The the case of a light controlled intersection, there arises two variations, the first, an intersection with no left turn arrow, follow the same protocol as the first example only bear in mind, you should only enter the intersection if your light is green. If it is yellow and you can stop behind the crosswalk or stop bar, the law says that is what you are to do. When the light turns green, enter the intersection, and with your left turn signal operating and your wheels straight ahead, wait until oncoming traffic clears the intersection. Then you can make a legal left hand turn.
In the case of an intersection with a left turn arrow option, when the left turn arrow is illuminated, that means you can safely make a left turn because oncoming traffic is facing a red light so you don't need to worry about oncoming traffic being a factor, provided no one runs the red light of course. If you are in line and the green left turn arrow goes out and the remaining lights going your direction turn green, the intersection becomes one just like the previous one without a green arrow option so you should follow the procedure called for in that case.
In many cases, motorists don't understand that you are still supposed to enter the intersection and wait until oncoming traffic has cleared the intersection when you can safely turn. Instead, they often wait behind the stop bar and needlessly create bottlenecks by not moving into the intersection to make the turn. Logic would dictate that if oncoming traffic was so intense that you couldn't turn left before the green light turned yellow, you would sit behind the stop bar indefinitely!
when the light turns red, go really fast and turn sharply right and then its a trick, like if you turn right, you'll go left. Refer it to the movie "Cars." when the light turns red, go really fast and turn sharply right and then its a trick, like if you turn right, you'll go left. Refer it to the movie "Cars."
If you're in a country which drives on the right (e.g., United States, Canada, Mexico, any country in mainland Europe, etc.), you come to the roundabout and yield to traffic already in the roundabout before entering. You'll turn right into the roundabout once you're assured that there is no oncoming traffic, proceed 3/4 of the way around the roundabout, and execute a right turn onto the street you intend to go onto (as you'll be facing the opposite direction as you were when you originally came into the roundabout).
If you're in a county which drives on the left (e.g., United Kingdom, Ireland, Barbados, Jamaica, South Africa and most of southern Africa, Australia, Japan, etc.), you will still come to the roundabout, and yield to any traffic which is already in the roundabout. Once it is clear, you'll execute a left turn into the roundabout, proceed 1/4 of the way through the roundabout, and turn left onto the street you intend to turn onto.
Added: (in the US) To further complicate the entire matter - SOME states require the entering traffic to yield to the traffic already IN the circle, while others require the traffic already in the circle to yield to entering traffic. (!!!) Be sure you iknow the traffic regulations of your particular state.
Generally speaking you must be completely in the left turn lane before the point where the white line becomes solid.
The left lane.
Turn left or (slang) take a left
when making a left turn, a person should turn on their left turn signal. They should look right, then left, and then make the turn.

must replace whole turn signal switch.
Nope ... If it's posted "No Left Turn" you can't legally make a left turn ... be it a driveway, a street or the ocean.
Left Turn was created in 2001.
Yes, yes they can turn left.
check blind spots and signal
