Left hand turn law???

[Skav]

Ok. I think I'm right. Just want to confirm before I go to the wifey

This is from the VCB.

Left Turns: The approach for a left turn shall be made as far as practicable to the left-hand edge of the extreme left-hand lane or portion of the roadway lawfully available to traffic moving in the direction of travel as the turning vehicle. When turning at an intersection, the left turn shall not be made before entering the intersection (i.e., don't cut the corners short). When making a left turn onto an intersection, turn into lanes made for travel in your direction and not into the lane for on-coming vehicles expect:
Upon a highway having three marked lanes for traffic moving in one direction which terminates at an intersecting highway that accommodates traffic in both directions. In this instance, the driver in a middle lane may turn left from either the middle lane or the far left-hand lane and into any lane lawfully available upon the roadway being entered.

I am pretty sure you can turn into any lane from a single left turn lane. How else would you be able to turn into a business on the corner? I remember my drivers training instructor going over this many years ago...I am 96% sure he said you can turn into any lane.

From the CA DMV Drivers Handbook.

1. Left turn from a two-way street. Start the turn in the left lane closest to the middle of the street. Complete the turn, if safe, in either lane of the cross street (shown by the arrows). Use the center left turn lane if one is available. A left turn may be made from the other lane, if permitted by signs or arrows.

Just tell her accelerate hard in the turns and close your eyes

What I was always told when making a turn was that you had to stay in the lane closest to the lane you are in. If you are making a right hand turn you had to stay in the right lane of the road you are turning onto. same goes for making a left hand turn.
If someone is making a left hand turn at the same time that you are making a right hand turn and they hit you because they did not stay in their left lane they get the ticket.

I was taught defensive driving always meant leaving yourself outs and options
