If a car is signaling to turn left at a junction you are pulling out of, what should you do?

Pull out immediately
Wait until the car has exited the junction
Wait until it has committed to the turn before pulling out in front
Drive around the signaling car

The correct answer is: Wait until it has committed to the turn before pulling out in front

The correct approach in this scenario is to wait until the car has committed to the turn before proceeding. This ensures that you are aware of the other driver's intention and can act safely based on their actions. By waiting, you prevent potential conflicts or misunderstandings that could arise if you were to pull out prematurely. If you were to pull out immediately, this could lead to a dangerous situation, as the signaling car may still change its direction or may not have fully committed to making the turn. Similarly, waiting until the car has exited the junction could create unnecessary delays and might not be the safest option either, especially if there are other vehicles or road users behind you waiting as well. Driving around the signaling car could present risks, particularly if the car suddenly changes direction or another vehicle emerges unexpectedly. Thus, waiting for the car to commit to its turn is the safest and most prudent option.
