    Yeah but in the OP drawing, there is only one car on Oak street. So that doesn't apply.

    You got to make up these absurd scenarios for there to be gray area here.

    Of course you need the car to move. Otherwise you could not make the turn. Your final answer doesn't help

    Why am I the end all be all here? I’ve done a lot of driving out in the country, turning into tight driveways off a two lane with no shoulder. I suspect my driving style and yours may differ. I have zero problem going all the way to the other side of the road and using all of it to make a right turn. That’s me. It doesn’t mean I’m right or that others should agree with me.

    If there was no oncoming traffic and you went clear to the left maybe you could’ve made the turn without forcing them to back up. Or not. Nobody knows but you because we weren’t all at that particular intersection with you at that particular time with those same traffic conditions.

    You said if there was no oncoming traffic, you would swing left to make the turn and make the yellow car back up. People can rationalize this all they want, but it clearly contradicts some other posts on this thread.


    Why does everyone have to pretend like you all agree on everything?
