When did the 1 lane radius buffer zone rule take effect?

You need to turn left, there is an open lane. Why is this even a question?

Have we have become so mamby pamby we have to take into consideration the potential feelings of everybody driving around us?

I don't think anybody but OP's wife is concerned about the other guys feelings, it's more a matter of how much money is coming out of your pocket when the idiot on the road hits you.
