That Heart-Stopping Right Turn: Learning to Judge Traffic Speed

Last week, I had a real wake-up call while turning right on red. I thought a black truck was far enough away, but suddenly it was right next to me, horn blaring. My mom was in the car and it really shook us both up. I realized I still have trouble judging how fast cars are coming. If you’re new to driving, try counting how many seconds it takes for a car to reach a landmark—if it’s under 3 seconds, wait. Being cautious is always better than being sorry.
