Cevap

Give way and allow the pedestrian to cross before completing your turn, and wait patiently without revving your engine or edging forward.
According to the Highway Code (Rule H2 and the Hierarchy of Road Users), drivers turning into a side road must give way to pedestrians who are crossing or waiting to cross. Drivers must wait patiently and avoid aggressive actions such as revving the engine or creeping forward, which could intimidate the pedestrian.
