At an intersection with no STOP or YIELD signs, you are about to turn left. Which of these is correct?

Answer options

Why

A left turn takes you across the path of oncoming vehicles, so at an intersection without signs or signals the duty to wait is yours. Turn only after approaching traffic has passed or is far enough away for you to finish the turn safely.
