Buttonhook right-hand turns

Long FLD can drive his truck, and I will drive mine. I'm sure both of us will be fine.

I was just telling you what *I'd* do.

 

If she was behind the white line then you deserved that middle finger, my friend.

 

I have always considered a button hook as swinging into the opposing (or left lane next to you) that way you can maybe make your turn without having to force someone to have to back up. Why would you not swing out wide (if that's an option) before the turn, to make the turn? If it was me and I saw that you could have made the turn without me backing up, it's possible we could be sitting there all day.

 

If, for whatever reason, it was not practical to come through the intersection with out making the right-turn--maybe the other directions are truck restricted, and there's too much much traffic, such that the road to your right will never be clear of cars and too much oncoming traffic to swing left, then I would consider forcing my way through the intersection.

 

I'm saying both answers are correct and depend on personal preference.

 

I personally would have proceeded ONLY if I didn't need that car to move. That is my final answer.
