When making a right turn, where should you position your vehicle?

When making a right turn, it is essential to position your vehicle in the outermost lane. This positioning allows for a safe and effective turn while minimizing the risk of an accident with other vehicles or pedestrians.

By being in the outermost lane, you are more visible to other drivers and can extend your turn without cutting across other lanes of traffic. Additionally, this approach aligns with traffic laws and best practices, which are designed to safely guide vehicles through intersections.

Other positioning, such as being in the innermost lane, could lead to dangerous situations where your vehicle might cut off other road users or collide with those already established in their lanes. Choosing any available lane could lead to confusion and unintended hazards for both the driver and other traffic. Finally, positioning yourself in the leftmost lane is counterproductive when making a right turn, as that would typically be designated for left turns or through traffic, further complicating the maneuver.
