In general, if someone is driving behind you and you need to turn into your driveway, you should not pull over to let them pass before turning. Instead, you should use your turn signal to indicate your intention to turn, and then make your turn safely and smoothly.
Here's why:
Safety first: It is essential to prioritize safety while driving. If you were to suddenly pull over to let someone pass, it could surprise the driver behind you and potentially lead to an accident.
Right of way: When you need to make a turn, you have the right of way. The driver behind you should be patient and wait until it's safe for them to pass, which is typically after you've completed your turn and entered your driveway.
Maintaining traffic flow: If you were to stop or slow down to let the driver behind you pass before turning, it could disrupt the flow of traffic and create a potentially dangerous situation for both you and others on the road.
However, there may be certain situations where it's appropriate to let someone pass before turning, such as when there's an emergency vehicle approaching, and it's necessary to clear the way. In such cases, it's best to use your judgment and make sure to do so safely and legally.
As a general rule, always use your turn signals to communicate your intentions to other drivers, and make turns safely without disrupting the flow of traffic.
