[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ive got one.  if you are turning right or left onto a 4 lane road.

you turn into the lane of travel nearest to you.

So if you are turning right  you turn into the right most lane.

if you are turning left,  you turn into the left most lane.

you don't need to be mario andretti and nail the apex of the turn and drift out into the far lane.

YES - and if you are the black/yellow car turning left [b][u]you don't need to wait[/u][/b] for the red/blue car to finish turning. You each should turn into your own lane.

This drives me nuts.

I always learned that when you are turning left, you do not have the right of way. Is this not true anymore? [/quote]

But if you are turning into the correct lanes, both can turn at the same time. Yielding doesn't mean coming to a complete stop.

[i]To make a right turn[/i] you should be in the lane furthest
to the right. Signal your intent to turn by using the proper
turn signal. You should signal at least three or four seconds,
100 feet, ahead of the turn. Look to your left and right to
check the intersection for pedestrians and traffic. Then brake
smoothly before and during the turn. If there is a red traffic
light or a stop sign at the intersection, come to a complete
stop before you make the turn.[b] Turn into the lane closest to
the curb unless pavement markings lead you otherwise, and
then change lanes if needed.[/b]

[i]To make a left turn[/i] you should be in the furthest left lane
possible,[b] turning into the leftmost lane on the intersecting
road[/b], unless pavement markings lead you otherwise; or,
unless multiple left turn lanes are provided. If multiple left
turn lanes are provided, you should choose the lane that will
best serve your need once you enter the intersecting road.
Signal your intent to turn by using the proper turn signal. You
should signal at least three to four seconds, 100 feet, ahead of
the turn. [b]Look in all directions, checking the intersection for
pedestrians and traffic coming from the opposite direction. [/b]

So yield if the person turning right does not turn properly, but you don't need to sit there and wait for them to fully complete their turn.
