Right Lane Or Left?

Ok folks, I need your help. My husband and I disagree which lane to take when making a right turn when there is more than one. I say the left lane, he says the right. When making a left turn, we agree on the right lane, and it just seems logical to reverse it for right turns...the outside lane. To simplify...two lanes turning right...should I be in the left or right to make the turn?

Always the right lane. You don't want to squish someone while you off track on a right turn.

My guess is stay close to the curb on right turns. This would help discourage fools from trying to pass you on the right. Also, it seem that if in the left lane when turning right your trailer could end up to far to your right where you can't see a well. Just my guess.

I take the right. If I need to split the lane so be it. But if you take the left lane and run your trailer across someone passing you on the inside. Well, good luck with that.

Just my opinion.

Then why do we use the right lane when turning left? Don't we have to go straight a little further so we don't take out poles and curbs and maybe people on the curb? If you stay to the high side your off track would still be in your lane, but if you go wide around from the right lane you might cut someone off in the left one. Sorry this just doesn't compute for me.

Phoenix, some clarification is probably needed based on the responses. My question is: are both lanes turning right in your scenario?

If not I'd definitely be in the right lane.

If both lanes turn right I'm taking the left lane.

Yes both turning right. Straight through or left have their own lanes.

Sorry, for an articulate person, I've always been a pro at confusing issues lol.

I always wondered about this, because I was taught left lane in cdl school, and right lane in company training. Personally I don't see that you're any more likely to run over someone on the inside of your right turn from the left lane than you are to hit someone or something on the curb if you're in the right lane..But if you're in the right lane and you realize that you don't have the space to make it, it's impossible to see anyone passing on the left, so then you have a problem (guess how I know this...)

If two lanes are for right turns, unless a Five-point intersection, always the left. Many have a no-truck sign posted on the right lane for that scenario.

Rather than worry about "left" or "right" lanes, choose the lane to the outside of your turn. That does mean for a right turn if there's two "right-turn" lanes, you choose the outer one which is the left-hand right turn lane.

And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle? Jonah 4:11 KJV
