I am turning left off of a two lane highway. Cars behind me and cars in front coming at me, I have to wait. To my right there is a turning lane with a solid white line.
This happens every single day I see this. People don't stop behind me (or whomever is turning) they use that turn lane to go around the car trying to make that left. This is illegal here in MN but yet not too many know about it. Is it such a small fine that LEO's don't write tickets, or don't they ever see this like I do? What is the fine anyway?
I am beginning to think that most motorists are ignorant of the fact that this is only allowed on a dotted line.
Oh and this is even better, if I am the one behind the car making a left, cars behind me will still go around both of us, then at the last second the car in front of me turns, I go and here we are 2 cars side by side on a two lane road.............. talk about stuuuuuuuuuuuuupit! What the heck do I do? Leave the idgit in front of me? Depends upon how far up he is to me already. Sometimes they go in front, sometimes they lose and stay behind and feel like the idgit they are.
One more question - is this illegal in all states? And why is this a violation, what is the danger here?
