8:30 Turning Left with Bicycle Lanes
***************
Multiple turning lanes will be found at complex intersections. Look for the overhead signs--most complex intersections will be fitted with lane designation signs but not all--and the road markings to know that you are dealing with multiple turning lanes.
On a left or right hand multiple-lane turn for the purposes of a road test, you should be in the right lane. That way when you get around the corner, you don't have to make a lane change, and you are travelling in the right lane as required for a road test.
If you are driving a larger vehicle, and are turning on multiple lanes, always, always get in the outside lane. Otherwise you risk a collision with a fixed object in the intersection.
ALWAYS IN THE OUTSIDE LANE FOR LARGER VEHICLES.
Finally, look for landmarks in the intersections that will help to guide you through safely. Ruts, gravel in the centre of the intersection, other traffic, and lane markings will all serve as landmarking that will help you to find your path of travel through the intersection.

Thank you, this was helpful. I accidentally cut someone off today in this type of situation when I got disoriented in the lanes. I was looking for some tips, and I appreciate this video.
Hi kspehar1 - you are most welcome my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick
This confirms that people honestly do not know how to turn left in situations like this. Because of this I always turn in the outer most lane to prevent someone crashing into me. 🤦🏾♀️
I'm scared of driving and I'm taking my driving lesson right now
How is your driving now. Are you confident?
How’s the driving going? See this vid: ruclips.net/video/GRX7iW4Jqcs/видео.html Drip us a note if we can help further. Cheers Rick

I accidentally cut someone off when I was turning left coming out of a road with just a stop sign, going into traffic right after a traffic light. I had a safe gap from both sides but didn't anticipate that there would be traffic coming from the right turning left. They had to change into the right lane immediately as I had come in right in front of them at the last moment.
I get really nervous with left hand turns, whether I'm waiting for a safe gap ahead or in cross traffic as I have a hard time judging what a safe gap looks like and then also going into the turn at a good efficient speed to be safe.
The most common problem when there are two left-hand turning lanes is the driver on the left changing lanes to the right during the turn. This is especially common if the street both drivers are turning into has at least three lanes in the direction being turned into; the driver on the left will often assume that the driver on the right will move one lane right during the turn, leaving room for him/her to do the same. But if the driver on the right does not do that, it can create a collision, which would be 100% the fault of the driver on the left. IF YOU ARE IN THE LEFTMOST LEFT TURN LANE TURNING ONTO A CROSSSTREET, YOU MUST ALWAYS TURN INTO THE LEFTMOST LANE OF THE CROSSSTREET. Only AFTER you complete your turn can you change lanes (if it is safe to do so). Never, never, NEVER change lanes in an intersection!!! (If you need to be to the right soon after making your left turn, then plan ahead and use the RIGHTMOST of the two left-turn lanes.)
All good information. Thanks, Cheers Rick
This literally happened to me. I was in the right left turn lane as my next immediate turn was to the right. The guy in the leftmost turn lane tried to sideswipe me switching lanes. At the SAME TIME there was a car turning right from the opposite direction. ALMOST caused a three car collision; thank goodness I was paying attention and slowed down/honked my horn. *Smh* some people think they own the road.
Thank you for confirming I drove correctly, staying in my lane, and letting me vent.
Yes! I was looking for this comment. I have a local 2 lane left turn that turns immediately into a 2 lane left turn, and I always feel tense because without fail at least one car always veers.
@@randomichigo23 Happens to me all the time, especially the town I live in there is this one 2 left turn lanes, and I drive semi so I take other of the 2. The outer one can go left, or straight or right turn. If I go left, I go out in the middle then swing to make my turn, and kind of have to hug the line so my trailer tires don’t rub or tear out sidewalls on the curb. I always get someone drifting into my lane, or thinking im going straight instead of turn even though blinker is on. I pull a three axle equipment trailer, with a stretched frame daycab semi. People don’t understand that if I gotta come over to their lane a bit to make a left, or even a right turn it’s not to cutoff. It’s so I don’t bust out a sidewall, or bust an axle by curb hopping if I’m fully loaded.
@@randomichigo23 My favorite is when I gotta make a left turn, or right turn onto a road I know is a truck route and it’s a tight turn. And there’s a car that can see I have my blinker on with my window down pointing for them to back up so I can safely make my turn and not hit them. Had one the other day, tight turn going left and lady just sitting there over the line. Didn’t move just sat there staring at me.

Hello Rick , I need some advice on those centre turning lane where cars in either direction can use this lane.
Hello, this happens pretty frequently. But I must confess I have done it as well. There was a four-lane intersection, two left lanes, one straight and one to the right and I hadn't been to the place before, I knew only the direction (city name), no gps. The left ones were the ones I needed to take, but they opened up right before the intersection and the direction was written right above the semaphore. So I was travelling in the straight Lane and as soon as I saw the direction, and put my flasher to the left, but naturally, the left lane was full of cars. Luckily, a car made me a way and I could squeeze there. But I am not happy about it, I should have gone on and get back on track somewhere safe.

PS - where in the world did you pass your test and are you planning any road trips to celebrate?
I have watched many of these videos but have failed the road test twice. The dmv will give me one more try. I’m sure I have not practiced enough. Some suggest that I should consider giving up driving. I cannot as that would be like taking my freedom away. I don’t want to give up. I’m determined to pass the road test. I’m an 80 yr old widowed grandma with a lot of ambitious goals. Should I hire a professional Driving tutor to help me pass this test? I don’t drive a lot, but enough that gives me the freedom that I so desire. Thank you sincerely.
What about as you merge into the two left turn lanes? Can you cross over(the solid white line) to take the inside left turn lane?
I have a question, if theirs 3 lanes on one road and I’m on the far right, can I use my blinkers and move to the far left one or do I have to go get in the middle lane, check again for drivers, then go to the far left lane
Get in the middle lane check again and then go to the far left
So at a T intersection traveling on the left lane that is marked that I can turn either left or right but the traffic light is red. Can I make the right turn taking all the necessary precautions and staying on my proper lane as if I was making my turn from the right lane at a red light? State of Texas not NY lol.

When switching lanes do I look at review mirror first then signal and look into my side mirror & over the should OR signal, look at the rear view mirror, side mirrors and blind spot and go? I always thought it was the second but someone told me it’s the first so now I’m confused cuz I’ve always done the second 1 LOL & i don’t want to fail.
Heyyy khim so you wanna always do everything at once it isn’t about how you do it it’s about making sure you do it all so when turning lanes you look at the side view mirror then turn blinkers on look behind and on more time in the side mirror then go
You are truly a blessing!!! MAJOR THANK YOU SIR

@@smartdrivetest oh yes. Thank you. I just wanted you to help me to identify who has the right of way on a multilane intersection. Like who turns before who😁. Its confusing to me because I used to drive in a small country with less complicated roadways😁. U can do a simulation if not the actual thing..or refer me to a video from you that I may have missed.
3:41 Did the car kind of cut it close there? I know the light was still yellow when it entered the intersection, but just barely.
Hi 1div2PIfc - Thank you for your very observant comment. In editing that video, I must have watch that video a dozen times and did not see that van run the red light.

Thanks! This was really helpful. But I have a question. Is it illegal if we cross the white solid line to get into the turn lane? Can we get a ticket for this?
It's unlikely that you'll get a ticket my friend - unless the police officer is a real ogre and in a really bad mood that day. Try to get into the turning lane as soon as it starts my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick

Lol that perfect example cut off is in my neighborhood in Kelowna! Such bad drivers here! Except me because I watch your videos ;)
Hello teacher. I hope someone or you can help me answer my question. I have a scenario: I move to the big intersection, and I want to turn left. I see that I have a red arrow (of course, if it were green, I could move immediately), after a few seconds, I see that the arrow to move straight forward is green. Hence I slowly move to the middle of the intersection for waiting until the oncoming vehicles (from the opposite lane) pass my car and I can turn left. However, I hear that the car behind me Bip Bip at me (I really do not understand why). My question is: do you wait and not move to the middle of the intersection until the left green light turns on and turns left? Or what I did was correct?

I get confused on the lanes like when I'm driving and I'm in the right hand lane then all of a sudden I see a turning right lane on the street idk but I get confused sometimes when I'm driving I need to learn the streets
Hi Wendy Salazar - Thank you for your comment. And yes, it's important to learn the streets, especially in and around the test centre where you're going to take your exam. And if there are three lanes, you want to drive in the middle lane. Also, look farther down the road to read the road signs and anticipate the changes in the road and traffic patters and that way you can be proactive.

Hoping someone could help me with this scenario: There is a 4 way intersection in my city in which one of the directions will have three lanes: The left lane is a forced left, the middle lane can go left, straight, or right, and then the far right is a forced right turn. The road that the driver turns right on has two lanes that go straight and then a turn lane to the far (or inside?) right that is a forced turn to a freeway entrance. My question is which lane belongs to which driver? My assumption is that since there are two lanes that go straight on the new road, the middle lane turning right should stick to the far left (outside) lane giving the forced right turn lane access to the straight lane on the right as well as the turn lane for the freeway entrance, also on the right. No lines in the intersection to direct each lane.
To add to this, the turn lane for the freeway entrance starts at this intersection, so basically you go from a two lane road to a three lane road with one of those being the freeway entrance lane if travelling that direction already.
After I approch exit on the freeway to turn left on left lane on intersections, Also Semi Truck is on the middle lane to turn left while I was on the left lane to turn left in my black sedan, after green goes light, I turned left, and then Semi truck turns left from middle lane to right lane, suddenly, truck turns over multi-lanes to left lane instead of going to right lane and I ends up going turn left again to freeway again bc of truck. I was rush to the work. 😤
4:23 when you’re Happy and Disappointed lool
I’m learning to drive, and I made this mistake yesterday. I accidentally cut someone off because there were no lines on a double left turn and I went into the wrong lane. I feel so stupid. I hope that this video helps me!
Hi Jessica S. - We're happy to hear we could help out. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
Always give space and even when we do the other drivers don’t respect the road and the vehicles.
I failed 5 times in assessment test reason no proper stearing control. Having lane change problm no proper front mirror check. Reduce speed without reason. Please help me
Hey Rick, Question: When at an intersection with a lot of lanes & traffic signals hanging above, what lights should you be looking at?
Hi Reel76 - Thank you for your comment and query. You should be looking at the signs and lights directly over or in front of your lane my friend. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
@@smartdrivetest What about some of these intersections with 4 lanes and only two lights?
Hi Reel76 - Apologies for the late response. Do you have an address of an intersection to which you're referring. I'll be ablet to look at it on maps and give you specific information. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
Great video sir

10 secs into the video, yes this happened to me yesterday. But I think my horn is hard to push for a reason.
Happened to me when I got cut off from a multiple turning lane with car in front of me changing right away from his assigned turn lane to mine this is intersection of Uniontown Road CR-519 and US-22 West Phillipsburg NJ. 40 scenarios with multiple turn Lanes should I take the one going to the right lane then change right after on the main road to the left lane.
Hi EpicThe112 - Thank you for your comment. It's going to happen my friend. Your best defence is to drive in the spaces between the vehicles of the cars that are beside you and ensure that you shoulder check. I'll need you to send me the link on Google Maps to answer your question. All the best for the holidays, Cheers Rick
@@smartdrivetest here is the intersection www.google.com/maps/@40.6809232,-75.147235,3a,75y,28.9h,88.18t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1smH4CknuWV8n1pxEecCZqtA!2e0?authuser=0&hl=en CR-519 St James Ave Uniontown Rd & US-22
Hi EpicThe112 - Thank you for your sending me the map. Ideally, if you're turning left you want to be in the right lane after you get around the corner. However, if you're going to turn left from US 22 then you would want to be in the left lane. But as I said above, when turning, control your speed so that you're in the spaces between the vehicles beside you. That way, if the car cuts you off or changes lanes inexplicably, you're in a good defensive posturing because you simply tap the brakes and the car should miss you. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
That guy might not of purposly cut you off. If he's new to those intersections he or she might not of really understood it. I have done it before because those intersections are fairly new to me because in my town we don't have them. Are you doing a live video Sunday night?
Hi michael johnson - Thank you for your comment. And yes, some times that happens. Still, that driver was sitting right beside me when we were waiting for the light to change. And because I was driving straight into the intersection, for a moment, I was in front of the driver. So it would have been really hard for him/her to not have seen me turning. Moreover, when turning, left lane to left lane; and right lane to right lane. Only after you get around the corner and have the vehicle straight, should you change lanes. And yes, I'm doing a live stream on Sunday. All the best, Cheers Rick
Are all multiple left turn lanes governed by the same sequence of traffic signals? That is a green arrow followed by a circular amber signal followed by a circular red signal.
Most commonly, yes. Both left turn lanes usually get the same sequence of signals.
I live in Kelowna

Hi Canada Train gamer - Thank you for your comment.And I will put that on the list my friend because I need to do a road test with a highway or a freeway. All the best, Cheers Rick
Thank u
No problem
hi, i have a question: why do you have to immediately switch to the right lane after turning left?
Hi aylinv95 - Thank you for your question. The left lane is considered the passing lane, therefore you move back to the right lane to allow faster traffic
to move past you to facilitate the flow of traffic. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
When people don’t signal as they are changing lanes, it really make me angry but unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it except stay far away from those drivers.
Hi Kowan McGarry - you are correct my friend. It's not a matter of "if" it's going to happen, but when. And you're a smart driver to create space between you and other road users. All the best, Cheers Rick

Okay thank god I’m not the only one stressing about this
The goat
Hey Rick, I think the people who disliked your video must be a driving school instructors, as they couldn't explain as better as you. LOL
Thank you my friend for your kind words. I think in conjunction with the hater trolling the internet, there are also the thumbs down people - they just want to see if they can get a reaction. All the best, Cheers Rick
very important thanks!
You almost look like Red Foreman from That 70s Show!
I recently had a guy that cut over into my lane and because I honked at him he slammed on his brakes and I ended up hitting his SUV and the impact was so bad it flipped it over with his kids inside and I am the one that gets the ticket and found at fault for the accident even with dash cam video of it.
@ 4:09: these are the type of people that cause accidents/ serious accidents
I've had that a few times where I've been cut off. Take care out there my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick
I hate when people choose the wrong turn lane. People don’t know how to plan their route. They take the inner lane and then as soon as the turn is complete they switch to the outer lane. Like why not just take the outer lane from the beginning??
Im 15 just trying to figure everything out lol
14 and practicing early
