When waiting to make a left turn, should you turn the steering wheel first?

When waiting to make a left turn, it's important to keep the steering wheel straight until you are ready to actually execute the turn. Turning the steering wheel prematurely can lead to unintended movements of the vehicle. This could increase the risk of rolling into oncoming traffic or making the turn too soon. It's essential to maintain control of the vehicle and only begin steering when you are sure it's safe to proceed. By doing so, you ensure that you’re fully focused on the traffic conditions around you, allowing you to execute the turn smoothly and safely when the time is right.
