    I never have because I heard you weren't supposed to but I see other drivers do it. Is it okay to do it?

    Yes. If it is not marked "No Turn On Red" and it is safe to do so.

    At school in Georgia, we were taught no, but I think that was a school policy, not a law.

    I just love 4-wheelers that ride up on the curb to get around me to turn right when there's a sign they almost hit saying that.

    In the meantime, I just grin like an idiot at their Alaskan hello and try to make a little space for them to get by so there's not an accident.

    But like others have said, it isn't wrong or illegal to make a right turn on red unless otherwise posted OR there's a right-turn signal.
