    A little trivia: did you know that FEDEX only make right hand turns?

    Youre thinking of UPS. They make left hand turns just not very often. The plan almost all right turns to keep from waiting at lights for too long.

    That's probably why you'll never see a NASCAR driver drive for UPS. :biggrin_25525:

    As long as they keep turning the same reason so they don't get confused.

    Depends. Urban areas have to wait on pedestrian traffic on right turns.

    Statistically, more accidents happen from left turns in failure to yield and yellow light charging. In cities, anyway.

    Old Yellow Cab of Los Angeles had a dispatch stand system that was created to keep the cabs from crossing oncoming traffic for that reason.
