Can I turn right if a car is turning left across me?

Can I turn right if a car is turning left across me?

Hi,

I have my G2 in a few days and I'm feeling very nervous. I was in a situation today which I drew in the image (the green and red circles represent the lights). I was going to turn right at a red light and creeped up to see (I am the blue car in the drawing) any oncoming traffic. I saw that the way was clear and was going to turn (didn't move yet) when a car turning left with its green light (the car in purple) went to turn so I waited for them to complete it before moving. My instructor told me I would fail on the test for hesitating there but I was confused because in a very similar situation (except at a one way stop sign instead of controlled intersection) I turned right after confirming the way was clear as a car turned left to go next to me and my instructor told me to wait next time. What should I do on the test and in general? Thanks.

Unsure about reversing

Hi,

I found out that when reversing out of a parking space and in a three point turn it can be a major violation to not be looking out of the rear view window the whole time (turning your body around and physically looking). I was confused because my instructors never taught me this and none of the many mock test videos I have watched online showed the student doing this. Is this true? How do you physically look behind you while also making sure you're not going to hit the curb in the side mirror? Thanks.
