[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know, if he sped up to keep you out of the lane, you could have just gone up a block and turned around.  This is what I'm teaching my teen student driver.  It's not worth an accident or p*ssing off a crazy driver just to change lanes.

HE is the one in the wrong but don't let yourself become a victim.  Just let the crazies go by and take the next turn.[/quote]

Or just tell your teen that if they know they need to make a right turn then get in the right lane of the road 1/4 to 1/2 a mile down the road beforehand in anticipation that the turning lane is coming up.

Don't teach them terrible driving like OP who has not ability to plan for turns and cuts in in front of other drivers already making turns. [/quote]

For all you know, OP was getting over 1/4 mile before her turn. Nowhere in her post did she say she was changing lanes at the last minute. Just that there was plenty of room and she was getting over to make the turn. She also stated the person actively sped up so she could not get over. Which is an utterly weird territorial response. Roads are a public utility paid for by taxpayers. You don’t own them and you don’t get to decide the space is yours and no one gets to change lanes.

Also, sometimes you can’t get over any earlier because you just turned onto the road. Or like just happened to me today, 2 roads merged together. I needed to make a right turn but there were already drivers in the right lane as that road joined the road I was on. Thankfully I put my turn signal on and someone let me over like a normal human being should do.[/quote]
