Hence, the idea......
Since a great majority of our time is spent on the city streets, the next several posts will be on Driving Tips.
If anyone has any suggestions, or "Pet Peeves", please post them.
Also, please encourage EVERYONE to check this blog daily as the tip of the day may truly make the difference to one of our team members.
Tip of the Day: Left Turns
LEFT TURN FROM ONE-WAY ROAD INTO ONE-WAY ROAD:
Prepare to turn by getting into the left lane, or the left side of a single lane, as close as possible to the left curb or edge of the road. If the road you enter has two lanes, you must turn into its left lane.
LEFT TURN FROM ONE-WAY ROAD INTO TWO-WAY ROAD:
Approach the turn in the left lane or from the left side of a single lane. As you cross the intersection, enter the two-way road to the right of its center line, but as close as possible to the center line. Be alert for traffic, especially motorcycles, approaching from the road to the left. Oncoming motorcycles are difficult to see, and it is difficult to judge their speed and distance away.
LEFT TURN FROM TWO-WAY ROAD INTO TWO-WAY ROAD:
Approach the turn with your left wheels as close as possible to the center line. Try to use the left side of the intersection to help ensure that you do not interfere with opposing traffic turning left. Stay to the right of the center line of the road you enter, but as close as possible to the center line. Be alert for traffic, especially motorcycles, approaching from the left and from the oncoming lane you are about to cross. Oncoming motorcycles are difficult to see, and it is difficult to judge their speed and distance away. Drivers often fail to see an oncoming motorcycle and collide with it while making a turn across a traffic lane.
LEFT TURN FROM TWO-WAY ROAD INTO ONE-WAY ROAD:
Approach the turn with your left wheels as close as possible to the center line. Make the turn before reaching the center of the intersection, and turn into the left lane of the road you enter.
LEFT TURN FROM TWO-WAY ROAD INTO FOUR-LANE HIGHWAY:
Approach the turn with your left wheels as close as possible to the center line. Enter the left lane, to the right of the center line. When traffic permits, you may move out of the left lane.

PET PEEVE : people who dont know what "merge" means.
It does NOT mean stop and wait for a big gap in traffic.
It does NOT mean jump into traffic and cut someone off.
It means you should be travelling the same speed as the traffic you are trying to enter AS you are entering (MERGING) it. It should be a smooth transition into traffic flow.
Pet Peeve:
This goes along with Ken's but people who don't know what a free-flow lane is and yeild to traffic instead of driving in the free-flow lane.
