If you're turning left from a left-turn only lane, do you really need to activate your turn signal, even if there are no drivers or pedestrians in the area. Yes, said the Washington Supreme Court in a unanimous opinion today.
By law, you are not supposed to drive continuously in the left hand lane. As you probably first learned in your driver's ed course, the right lane is the “travel lane,” and the left lane is the “passing lane.” Of course, in the real world, that isn't always the case, and on large portions of I-5 during rush hour traffic in downtown Seattle, that's rarely the case.
What is the fog line? I had no idea what the “fog line” was until I became and a prosecutor and started handling DUI and other traffic prosecutions. It sounded mysterious. Was it really foggy?
If you're turning left from a dedicated left turn lane, do you really need to activate your turn signal? Second question. If you have ever thought about this question, have you ever considered writing a 17 page legal opinion about it. Probably not.
