[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are both turning onto a four lane road that means there are 2 lanes of travel in the direction you are turning.  The car turning right must turn into the curb lane.  The car turning left must turn into the left lane.  So actually you can both turn at the same time.  The challenge is that very few people actually turn into the lane they are legally supposed to turn into.  If there is only one lane of traffic that you are both turning into then the person turning right legally has the right of way.  Of course that doesn't matter if the person turning left is a jerk.[/quote]

Nope, nope, nope. What if I’m turning right onto a one way road and I want to be in the left lane because I need to go left ahead? Left turners never have the right away if other cars are there. [/quote]

You are supposed to turn into the right lane and just use that for your turn. Then, when it is safe and clear to do so, you put on your left lane change blinker and move over to the left lane. Is that so difficult to understand?

I am turning right. I have the right of way. Why should I then have to stop or merge into traffic with the person who was supposed to yield to me? The intersection I’m thinking of is Lee Highway and Washington Blvd entrance to 66, btw. [/quote]

NP here.  You only have the right of way to the right hand lane.  If you want to turn right and merge into the left hand lane, you either have to wait for them to turn into the left hand lane and turn right behind them (essentially turning and merging at the same time) or you can turn into the right hand lane, slow down and then merge in behind them.  Either way, you only have the right of way to the curb side lane, not to the left hand lane on the new road.
