If the lane curves to the left, then I can see the trailer better on the driver side than the passenger side. But all that was not my point
My point in post #17 is that on a cloverleaf, I have the same view of the rear of my trailer on the passenger side in both the outside lane and the inside lane. The trailer off tracks approximately the same amount in either lane. -

Cloverleaf can be left or right...
You do you if you already know the answer.
My preference on any direction of a cloverleaf is I want traffic on my left.Numb Thanks this. -

That's where your experience and situational awareness comes in...
Get the big picture.
There are many left cloverleaf, flyover ramps, bridges and multi lane exits.
Sounds to me like you want an opinion different than your own to refute.
It means your trainer was correct and you won't find every answer in a state manual or a truckers forum.
Crude Truckin' and Numb Thank this. -

This is a big depends on where I am at. Example Atlanta. I know what lane ends so I don’t get in that one. I don’t care what any law says. Big rule nobody follows is two left turn lanes. Be in the right with a trailer, but I see lots of day cabers in the left. Guess being home every night isn’t enough for them.

What if a clover leaf ramp has only one lane, concrete walls on either side and no shoulder? Texas has many of these and half of them curve left.
