Default Re: Left turn courtesy question with MS Paint

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?

yeah there doesn't seem to be any reason why the car would change lanes, so just go

People change lanes for little to no reason all the time, beyond the fact that they might want to turn left in the near future(frequency of this is location dependent, obviously).
There are a great many [censored](to be fair, some of them are legitimately in a hurry) who will change lanes just because the car in front of them is 1/3 car length slower than the car next to it.

I'd almost never turn left in this situation, though it's right turn counterpart I will do with regularity. The right turn version of this is significantly less dangerous because you're getting into your lane immediately and it's easier for the lane changing driver to see you and swerve imo.

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.
