Correct answer
Allow for its path and body swing, checking space on both the inside and outside.
Allow for the swept space of the entire combination and monitor it in the mirrors. Trailer wheels may cut in on the inside of the turn, while the body overhang may swing outwards. Behaviour depends on the trailer geometry and steering axles. Plan the turn at low speed, respecting lanes, signs and other road users; taking a wider line does not authorise crossing their path or occupying space without checking that it is safe.
