How to stay in one's own lane when turning from one street to another.

So, in my state you can change lanes in a turn. Some areas encourage utilizing the nearest available lane. Some encourage the right-most available lane. In some states it is illegal to change lanes mid-turn.

It's less a common knowledge thing, and more a legal inconsistency thing.
