New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) Practice Test

Failing to turn as required is a specific violation that targets the act of turning itself under the Turning Movements and Required Signals provisions. When the law requires you to execute a turn in a certain way—such as turning from the proper lane and finishing in the correct direction—not doing so is a separate offense. That makes this option the best match for a scenario described as failing to turn as required, because it directly states the failure in the turning movement rather than focusing on signaling or starting behavior.

The other options relate to signaling or starting actions. Signaling requirements address how you communicate your intent to turn and the distance you must signal; not signaling or signaling improperly doesn’t describe the actual turning movement. An unsafe start concerns how you begin moving from a stop and is unrelated to the mechanics of turning once you’re moving.
