Explanation:

Analyze the rules for unprotected left turns

An unprotected left turn at a standard green light requires yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians before proceeding. "Securing the turn" (or establishing the turn) refers to entering the intersection slightly while waiting for a safe gap in oncoming traffic to complete the turn.

Evaluate the given options

• "honk your horn as you turn": Incorrect and unsafe.
• "secure the turn": Correct, as it is standard driving procedure to yield and position the vehicle to complete the turn safely.
• "not come to a complete stop": Incorrect, as you may need to stop completely to yield to oncoming traffic.
• "turn on your hazard lights": Incorrect, hazard lights are not used for standard turning maneuvers.

Answer:

• (A) honk your horn as you turn
• (B) secure the turn (Correct answer)
• (C) not come to a complete stop
