It would be the lane closer to the inside of your turn radius, namely the one closer to the right (closer to the shoulder). It's asking for *your* inside lane on the turn, not the inside lane of the busy road. Seems people are confusing the two.

The inside lane is the one closest to you when turning right. If you are turning right onto a 4 lane road and you're keeping to the inside lane, there should be no lanes on your right side once you turn. The lanes on your left are one which you have the option of moving into, and the other two are going in the opposite direction.

If you are turning left within an intersection and your in the middle turn lane, the lane closest to the median is the inside lane. You will definitely need to take this into consideration if there are two lanes turning left.

People are referring to the inside lane of a highway is where people go fast -- no, no, no. That is considered the middle lane of the highway or the fast lane. The inside lane of a turn is different than the middle fast lane of a highway.

When one is making a turn the rule is stay in the same lane. This makes sense if you think about it. Use the example 2 cares are making a turn if the inside one cuts wide (s)he collides with th outside one. Same example but the outside one cuts the corn close again an accident occurs cause by someone not staying in their lane. Simply think of it as going down a wining road.

Not sure where you are, but in the US, the inside lanes are the fast lanes. eg, on a 4 lane road the inside lanes are as it says, towards the inside of all lanes. The outside lanes are closest to the shoulder, sidewalk,etc.

The inside lane is always the one closest to the center median (closer to the yellow lines).

The lane closest to you.

The inside lane of a multi-lane road, no matter where you are turning from, is always on the side away from oncoming traffic.

So if you live in the US, the inside lane is always on your right. In the UK, it's always on your left.
