Pretty much nobody does this correctly. I would if others would cooperate. Humans are dumb.

Yeah don't care. I do it the wrong way so as to prevent deadlock.

Turning left is trashy

I love when you do it correctly and some dipshit gets pissed off because they think you’re an idiot.

It doesn’t help that in intersections that have the elevated dividers, they design it like the wrong way.

Many have stop lines for the incorrect way. You risk a ticket otherwise.

I drive a truck so I see over the other vehicle regardless.

This shite infuriates me to no end.

Nothing like someone doing it the incorrect way, leaving you no where to go but also the incorrect way. Then they sit there in their fricking Camry throwing their hands up because they can't see.

In America we drive on the right side of the road.
In the first pic both cars, while turning, are on the left side of the road.

Show the the correct way when there’s more than just two cars trying to make there left turn both ways. Thanks.

They could fix this by just painting some double yellow lines in the intersection.

This is how they do it up here in MI. Took a bit to get used to.

Every damn day I make that turn and more than half of the time, idiots on the other side, do it wrong. I can't tell you how many times I've had idiots honking at me and going hard with the hand signals, the whole time not knowing they are the idiot who can't make a legal left turn.

The second part of the equation is the guy waiting for you to make the turn needs to stay out of the intersection but half the time they pull up right behind you, thus blocking the guy on the other side of the street.

People just don't give a shite, especially in Nola, some just take the middle like jack asses.

I have only done it the wrong way once or twice because someone else was already in the wrong. I prefer to wait for them to clear the intersection so I can do it the correct way, provided it doesn't make things even more unsafe.

When I lived off of South Sherwood Forrest, this made my road rage reach an all time high.

I've always done it the correct way. I love when I get funny looks from people that do it wrong.
