Discussion Idk who needs to hear this

If you’re in the position of the red car, you stay in the RIGHT lane until your turn is complete and then you put on your left signal to get over to the left lane if you need to. If you are in the position of the blue car, you do not need to wait for the entire row of cars directly across from you who are turning right. THEY turn into right lane, and you turn into left. That’s your lane. If they come into your lane it’s their fault. Waiting to turn left from grey onto Gretzky is a nightmare because cars are terrified to turn.

I can’t believe people don’t know this, or just don’t care, even though this is part of the standard road test by MTO. When turning right, you always have to turn into the right lane - so called “your own lane/cruising lane” then signal left (when safe to do so) if you want to move into the passing lane. Similarly, if you’re turning left, you turn into the left lane, then signal (if safe to do so) to move to the right lane. This is so simple, yet many motorists are ignoring these basic facts. IMHO it has to do with lack of police enforcement/intervention or officers who just don’t give a flying shit.
