If the light turns red when you are in the middle of an intersection about to turn left, you should:

  1. Stop until the light changes to green

  2. Back out of the intersection, if possible

  3. Complete the turn when traffic clears

  4. Signal to other drivers for help

The correct answer is: Complete the turn when traffic clears

If the light turns red while you are already in the intersection, you should continue to complete your turn once traffic has cleared. This is the safest and most efficient option, as backing out of the intersection or asking for help from other drivers can lead to further confusion and potential accidents. Additionally, stopping in the middle of the intersection can block other cars from moving and cause traffic disruptions.
