Correct answer
Anticipate the space and path of the whole combination before turning.
Anticipate the space needed by the whole combination and the trailer or semi-trailer’s path. Rear wheels may follow a path inside that of the front wheels, while the body may sweep outwards. Observe through the mirrors, adapt speed and do not assume it turns like a motorcycle. Needing more space does not permit entering another lane without checking or ignoring signs; if the dimensions prevent normal positioning, take the precautions necessary to avoid danger.
