Make Legal Stop or Illegal Right Lane Pass?

I'd probably not need to stop since I'd probably slow down quite a bit when I saw you stopped with signal on and by the time I got to you you'd have turned >.>

 

I agree 100%. If am have miles of sight in every direction and everything is super clear and there is tons of space in the lanes I MIGHT pass on the right, but I will definitely be doing it very slowly. No way I'm gonna push through an intersection and a lane swerve like that at 50+mph. That's just stupid and irresponsible. If you can easily and safely keep moving at a rate of 20mph then I say keep moving. If it's not easy and/or safe, then be patient and wait. You are waiting on another trucker just like other truckers will wait on you when necessary. Luckily, outside of city driving I encounter more responsible drivers on the road than not. It's that ugly minority that easily ruins it for the good majority.

Well I've read a bunch of your posts and there is one common thread through all of them too. That you love to hijack threads with specific topics just so you can start some sort of completely irrelevant argument with someone you don't like. If you hate people that much either ignore them, PM them, or start a whining and pointless complaining about other members thread. I came into this thread to read about and discuss what is stated on the title, NOT to read your personal attacks against other members. But it seems that in every thread that is what you do. So right back at you, and I'm not even the member that you were referring to in your post.
P.S. If you want to get into a back and forth with me don't bother cause I will just ignore you and if you have an incessant need to instigate non-stimulating arguments with me from now on I will just black-list you so I never have to see your name again. Your nasty words and opinions really make no difference to me. But I do appreciate it when you have valuable information to add to a topic, so thank you for those few times.

Now back to keeping on topic with the thread...

 

Instead of talking about maybe lowering the speed limit, which will accomplish nothing, they need to stop stuffing their pockets with tax money long enough to widen the road and put in a center turn lane. Of course a dozen or so people will have to be killed there before it even occurs to them.

 

I would have to slow down first and stop if the car did not complete the turn as I approached....I would not likely have time to consider going around the car on the right hand side because I would be watching the traffice ahead of and behind me. I don't want to change lanes quickly to be safe, and I don't want to violate a traffic rule like that, and I don't want to be in the wrong lane when someone behind me passes me


Now if this is a route I had traveled a 100 times before and I knew of the right turn only lane, I would just slow down a little sooner and watch the traffice to see how soon the car would turn, so I could catch a lower gear and not have to come to stop.


I can't think of a reason to pass in the right turn only lane, unless it was an emergency stop where I was on the brakes hard and needed an escape route and that right lane might be the escape route....


Good question....lots to think about.

 

What she said...smart gal.

 

OK.....BYE!

 

Although in you can pass on the right when a car is stopped to make a left turn(21755 vc, California) as long as it's safe. However, in your case it's posted "right turn only." so any driver to pass on the right would be violating section 21461a of the vehicle code -failure to obey sign.

 

Yes and not to mention most likely the right turn lane is offset to the right as part of where the shoulder normally is. It would take some manuevering to get back in the travel lane that your 70' truck would probably cross the path of the cross traffic lane. Just a bad move all together. You never know if that 4 wheeler might change his mind and gas on it. Then whatcha gonna do?? Better safe than sorry.

 

I think that if you stop and then proceed slowly when safe there would be little risk.

However the letter of the law may not see things the same.
