It's good practice to manually cancel the signal light after making a lane change because the small movement of the steering wheel is not likely to cancel it.

If there is no gap in the traffic for making a lane change, the driver should remain patient and avoid forcing their way into the lane. They should continue to signal their intention to change lanes and wait for a safe opportunity. It's important to maintain a safe following distance and be aware of surrounding vehicles. Only proceed when there is a clear and sufficient gap to safely merge into the new lane.

When turning onto a road with two or more lanes you should turn into the nearest lane. If the road you are turning from has two lanes marked for turning left there will usually be broken lane lines through the turn to show the lanes you should stay in. If they are worn away the furthest lane left turns into the nearest lane and the second lane from the left turns into the second lane from the left of the road you are turning onto. Once on the new road and it is clear you can start changing lanes. Its a bad idea to change lanes during the turn as if there is an accident you could be ticketed for an unsafe lane change
