What is the proper lane to turn into when making a left turn?

The lane furthest from the center
The lane nearest the center in the direction you are heading
The far right lane
Any lane available

The correct answer is: The lane nearest the center in the direction you are heading

When making a left turn, the proper lane to turn into is the lane nearest the center in the direction you are heading. This helps ensure that you are turning into a lane that allows for safe merging and movement with oncoming traffic. Turning into this lane minimizes the risk of collisions with vehicles in adjacent lanes and facilitates a smoother flow of traffic, as it is likely intended for vehicles traveling in the same direction you will be going after the turn. It's essential to follow this practice for drivers' safety and to adhere to traffic regulations. While the other choices may seem plausible, turning into the lane furthest from the center could lead to unsafe situations and potential accidents, especially if there is traffic in nearby lanes. Similarly, turning into the far right lane or using any available lane might not comply with the safest and most commonly followed driving practices, leading to confusion and traffic disruptions.
