1. If you are turning left at an intersection where there are two available turn lanes:
- It is best to use the right lane. ✓
- It doesn’t matter which lane you use.
- It is best to use the left lane.
Answer: A. It is best to use the right lane.
When two left-turn lanes are available, it is best to use the right lane. The handbook says that if there are two turning lanes, you should always take the right turn lane. It warns against starting in the inside lane because you may have to swing right to make the turn. It also notes that drivers on your left can be seen more readily. Together, these points make the right-hand turning lane the recommended choice rather than a matter of personal preference.
