That isn't code, that is defensive driving. If both were to go and an accident happened the left turner would be cited.

We aren't talking about if both decide to go. We are talking about who should go

2ndTrombone

8:20am

Left turner has to yield. It isn't about courtesy, it is about being predictable and efficient.

Tokolosh

8:25am

I'm not arguing that. Of course left turn yields to a car in the intersection.

Doesn't change the answer. Straight has the right of way. If they both go and there is an accident the left turner...
