[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look Marylanders, if there are dual turning left lanes onto a 3 lane road, the inside left turning lane must turn into the furthest left lane on the 3 lane road unless dotted lines indicate otherwise.  [b]The outside turning lane is allowed to turn into the middle or outside lanes on the 3 lane road.[/b]  I can't tell you the number of times I've nearly gotten into accidents or been run off the road by moronic Marylanders who are in the inside turning lanes of a dual left turning lane who decide to turn into the middle and even into the right most lane on the 3 lane road.  Learn how to drive you MD clowns. [/quote]

I'm not sure this statement is correct. At the very least, it seems ill advised to change lanes during the turn as there could be a car that turns right onto the same road on red without stopping which most people seem to do.[/quote]

She is wrong. You can’t take “either” lane.

If somebody is turning right into what she calls the outside lane, she will be cutting that car off.

Typically, if there are 2 left turn lanes at intersection, those lanes will get a dedicated left turn arrow, indicating when they have the right of way. If they have the right of way, oncoming traffic must yield to them before turning right on red.[/quote]

That doesn’t mean you can just take the outside lane. The rule is to turn into your designated lane which is the middle on.[/quote]

Nonetheless, the reason why you can’t take the outside lane is not because you might cut off drivers who are supposed to yield to you.[/quote]v

NP. We all agree leftmost to leftmost. No question. Cased closed. 
Where I live, we can and do take the outmost lane from the other turn lane because it is a protected left with arrows. 
After we are established in these lanes (remember establishing yourself in each lane?) we do the proper checks and move to the middle if we desire. It works out perfectly, and nobody assumes they have the middle, causing a crash. [/quote]
