Lines and lane usage. If you are driving on a road with two lanes in your direction and you want to make a left turn, what should you do?

Move into the right lane
Move into the left lane
Stop at the intersection
Make a U-turn

The correct answer is: Move into the right lane

When making a left turn, you should always move into the right lane. This allows for other vehicles to pass you on the left and prevents blocked traffic. Moving into the left lane would also require crossing multiple lanes of traffic, which can be dangerous and illegal. Stopping at the intersection would only be necessary if there is a red light or stop sign, and making a U-turn would be a violation of traffic laws and potentially dangerous if there is oncoming traffic.
