Merge into the nearest left lane when it is safe to do so.
If there are 3 lanes on your side of the freeway, the right-hand lane is there for vehicles to merge onto the freeway and it is the place for slower moving vehicles to drive; such as big rigs or cars towing anything. The lane in the middle is the passing lane for slow moving traffic, and it is the lane for primary travel of other than slow moving vehicles. The lane to the far left is for passing only, except when designated for specific use, like a carpool lane.

When you are in the far right lane, your turn should put you in the far right lane. Then, when safe, you can merge into the left lane to pass. This is for a right turn from a 2 or 4 lane onto a 2-or higher lane road.
some states it is against the law to drive in the left lane UNLESS you are passing. This is do to emergency vehicles using the left lane and being blocked by people not paying attention. You can get a ticket for driving in the left lane in some states. No , most cops dont give them, BUT if you impeed the passing of an ambulance do to it, and there is a cop around, look out.
The far right lane. On multiple lane highways, the lanes are counted from the left to right -- the fast lane is #1. So if you are on a 4-lane drive in #4. This applies to The US and right-side drive road, left side driver cars
If a collision happens it will most likely be the fault of the one merging because those on the freeway have the right of way. However, for safety, and courtesy, the driver on the freeway should try to move a lane over to the left, if he cannot, then he should adjust his speed to help the merging driver.
A continuous white stripe parallel and to the right of your lane means that you are at the far right of lawful driving on the highway. This line is also called a 'fog line', as it helps the driver see where the edge of the highway is when it is foggy.
(in the US) On multi-lane roadways - The far right lane
When making a right turn you are to execute the maneuver from the far left hand lane to the far right hand lane. This will also depend with the direction you intend to take after the right turn.
