When making a left turn across opposing traffic you may pull into the center/turn lane to clear yourself out of traffic, until the turn can be made with safety. HOWEVER, it is not meant to be travelled in for more than a certain number of feet (distance may vary by state law) before making the actual turn.

You might be driving a vehicle or combination too long to make the turn from the center lane, as well. Just a couple examples of when exception might be granted.

On a two way four lane street which lane should you use to make a left turn?
Any turn going left from any of the right lanes is an illegal turn. However, if you signal into any of the two left lanes (assuming the white lines are dashed and not solid), you can make a legal left turn from any of the two left turn lanes. Treat it like a four-laned intersection without the street lights and without a lane going straight. You must turn into your lane accordingly.
Who is at fault if driver a is turning right into center turn lane to make left at an intersection and driver b is driving in center lane before the opening and hits driver a?
If the driver has completely turned into the center lane and vehicle B rear ends vehicle A directly from behind then it is driver Bs fault. If vehicle a has not completed the turn into the center lane and vehicle B impacts on an angle at say the drivers side door or left rear passengers door, basically anywhere along the left side of the vehicle then it is driver A's fault.Another View: When turning right onto a multi-lane roadway, the law requires you to turn into the right-hand lane of that roadway. You may change lanes only when you determine that the lanes to your left are clear to merge into. YOU are at fualt for the collision.

Why do some people who drive a car stay in the left lane?
The left lane is supposed to be the fast lane. If you want to drive faster, then use the left lane. Traditionally it is ment to be the passing lane. If you want to pass someone driving slowly in the right lane, then pass them using the left lane, and get back over to the right lane until you need to pass someone else. However, you should not sit in the left lane driving slowly. It is ment to be a passing lane and if you sit out in the left lane, it will make others unhappy! I hope this helped!

Whose falut is it when a 18 wheeler in the left lane hits a car in the right lane for the side or back?
Need more details in order to make an assessment of this. If a vehicle in one lane made contact with a vehicle in the other lane, then one of those vehicles obviously left their lane. Which one it was will make a significant difference here.Also: Were you trying to pass the semi on the right?
