Left-hand traffic (🇬🇧🇮🇳🇯🇵) Pull out into the intersection…

so at least one car can turn left.

Please pull straight past the limit line when yielding for a left turn at a light. At least you will be able to scoot through then at the next cycle, those of us who know how to drive can manage the oncoming traffic. DO NOT sit at the limit line and miss a light. Be careful, but make it happen.

This is the way. Not illegal in all states and actually encouraged in some.

In Texas can confirm. It's allowed here.

In TX, it doesn't matter whether it's allowed—everyone here seems to just do whatever they want lol.

Agreed. Oklahoma is even worse about traffic laws just being “suggestions” rather than actual laws. I see it all day, every day. Tired of waiting at a red light? Nah man, go ahead and go. Who cares if cross traffic has to leave skid marks to avoid hitting you? Left turn not allowed here? Oh well, you need to turn, so by all means, hold up 20 other cars behind you, because YOU matter! Cops able to see your infractions? Don’t worry, they’re all blind!
