You want to turn left. In what sequence do you prepare to take the left turn?

When preparing to make a left turn in Germany, the correct sequence is important for safety and to inform other road users of your intentions. First, you should observe the traffic behind you to ensure it is safe to change lanes or slow down. Next, you activate your left turn signal to clearly communicate your intention to turn. Finally, you move into the appropriate lane for turning left. This order—observe, signal, then move—helps prevent accidents by making sure you are aware of other vehicles and that they are also aware of your intentions before you change position on the road.
