When approaching an intersection slow down turn on your left turn signal and move to the immediate left side of the intersection. Watch for stop signs or lights.
This is very important: Always keep your front wheels pointing straight ahead till you actually decide to turn left. Stare closely at traffic coming at you. Trucks always appear to be moving slower than cars. Be very careful when large trucks are coming straight through the intersection. In actuality they're moving as fast or faster than smaller cars and pick-up trucks.
I've attended several driving classes and they all say the same thing. Large trucks appear to be moving slow when coming at you because of their size. It's an optical illusion as they're moving as fast or faster than cars.
When the coast is safely clear roll forward into the intersection and turn left into the right hand perpendicular street while your head and eyes are looking at the lane. Don't waste time in intersections.

Well, you may be in good company. Herbert Hoover, (remember him? head of CIA, named a dam after him, Etc) reportedly had a problem with left turns as also. (well he was a republican. :-) )
I had heard that he even wanted his driver to only take right turns which means a new method of planning ones route.
And if you need to make 3 right turns to get to where you are going then so be it. It may come a problem if the roads are only one one however. May hypnosis would help.
"In California several months before, the Director's chauffeur-driven car, while making a left turn, had been struck by another car from behind. The Director had been shaken up. He had been sitting on the left side behind the driver. Now he refused to sit on the left rear seat any more and had forbidden all left turns on auto trips."

HAHAHA I'm the same way :-) The sad part is.... I'm 26 and even my daughter knows I don't take lefts... I'm sure that my son will figure it out and join in on the making fun soon too.
If I have to or if it's a practically deserted road I will but otherwise it's right, turn around, right for me
I thought I was the only one!

in line with the place the impression on the two autos and without witnessing the twist of fate, i could say it is your fault. You in no way appeared over to be sure if a motor vehicle grow to be interior the left lane. pondering your left front bumper hit his staggering passenger rear door tells me he grow to be somewhat past to you and could have been seen. So the indisputable fact that he "overtook you" won't carry water. additionally you are the guy who replaced lanes. it is your duty to make constructive the lane is obvious till now persevering with your action. although if the guy grow to be driving at an extreme speed, you have not got any staggering to alter lanes because of the fact it grow to be no longer sparkling. additionally you have been additionally making a left turn from the midsection lane that's continuously a no-no. The coverage firms would be sure who's at fault based on your memories and greater importantly, the actual information.

you just turn the wheel to the left and accelerate....or is it that you're scared when there's oncoming traffic? Because getting the timing down takes some practice.

Be confident, use the hand-over-hand technique and let the wheel slide through your hands as you ease into the turn.
