When is it legal to make a left turn at a red light?

  1. Only with your hazard lights on

  2. If there is no oncoming traffic

  3. When the left lane is blocked

  4. Never

The correct answer is: If there is no oncoming traffic

While making a left turn at a red light is generally not allowed, there is one exception to this rule. This is when there is no oncoming traffic. Options A and C may seem like plausible choices, but these are not valid reasons for making a left turn at a red light. Option A suggests using hazard lights, which is not a legal way to make a left turn at a red light. Option C states that a left turn can be made when the left lane is blocked, but this scenario does not override the general rule of not making a left turn at a red light. Option D is incorrect as well because, as mentioned before, there is one exception to the rule - when there is no oncoming traffic. This is why option B is the correct answer.
