On two-lane, two-way streets or highways, you should start left turns:

From just to the right of the center line
From the left lane
Far right lane possible
From any lane

The correct answer is: From just to the right of the center line

When making a left turn on a two-lane, two-way street or highway, it is important to start your turn from just to the right of the center line. This allows you to properly navigate the turn and ensures that you are not blocking any oncoming traffic from the opposite direction. Option B is incorrect because starting a left turn from the left lane would require crossing over the center line and potentially blocking oncoming traffic. Option C is also incorrect as it is not safe to make a left turn from the far right lane as this lane is typically used for right turns or through traffic. Option D is incorrect because making a left turn from any lane would not properly position you for the turn and could also put you in danger of colliding with other vehicles.
