I want to know how i could have turned because it is my first time truly "screwing up" a turn(and somehow caught it on camera). I can't go diagonally if there is a car there!

and ignore the random revving i was signaling my girlfriend that i saw her. Didnt want to take my hands off the handlebars

Couple questions for you:

1. When you want the bike to turn right what do you do to make it turn right?
2. Once you get the bike turned what do you want to do with the throttle and why?

I think answering these two questions will really help with figuring out what went wrong in this turn, and will be applicable to helping with many corners in the future of your riding
