How to Make a Right Turn

It seems that nobody in this state can do even the simplest of driving tasks. So once again, read, so that you are without excuse.

How Not to Make a Right Turn
  1. Start to turn left, and give any drivers behind you the impression that you will be continuing in that direction.
  2. Assume that other drivers have telepathic abilities. After making your left-hand swerve, turn sharply to the right, regardless of any vehicles that may have mistakenly made the assumption that you are continuing to the left and will pass you on the right.
  3. Your turn signal should never be a part of this operation. Remember, it is not needed; other drivers are assumed telepathic.
How To Actually Make a Right Turn
  1. If a sharp right turn will not be sufficient, position your car beforehand at a far enough distance from the turn so that it is not necessary to swerve left before making it.
  2. Flick your turning signal lever up, informing other drivers that you intend on turning right.
  3. Slow down approaching the turn,  keeping your turning signal on. Again, do not first turn left, as other cars may pass you from this side.
  4. Complete the turn, and repeat from step 1 as needed.
A need to read this applies to about 45% of you, I'm sure.
