    So quick question because I have a road test coming up for a company and am hearing two different answers. When approaching a light and having to go right (with a multi lane) Do I take the inside lane so I’m not cutting off cars with my trailer if I were taking the outside lane? Or just go wide while taking the outside lane?? Thanks

    When I have to make a right turn and there isn’t enough room.
    I’ll hog both lanes. Then as I make the turn. I’ll fill the left lane with my cab. Let my trailer keep blocking the right. Just enough to block. Then make the turn.
    There’s just no other way to succeed.
    They say to go into the on coming traffic to the right. No way when it’s solid traffic.

    I have been surprised at people on left turns. Two left turn lanes. I’ll be outside. I’ll go clear up against oncoming traffic to keep my trailer tandems widest possible. People on the inside left turn lane will just stop. Let me have the freedom of possible cut into their turn lane. I am proud that if I can pull it off right. I don’t cut off that inside left turn lane. Also, often the opposing turning right will move forward. Cutting off my wide turn. I have to come back in. Thus cutting off my inside left turn lane. Hate doing it. Ready to stop if I have to. Thank God the inside left turn person stopped. Making up for the opposing right turner driving with head up ###.

    No. No. Please no. Not another right turn thread. For the love of God, or the God's, or all that is good and proper and right in this world, please not another one of these threads.
