In areas where there isn’t a dedicated U-turn lane, you have to use the left-turn lane if you want to make a U-turn. You just have to work with what’s available since not all roads are wide enough to have a separate U-turn lane.

I used to complain about drivers in front of me making U-turns and causing me to miss the light. In some cases, it can even lead to rear-end collisions. But then I found myself doing the exact same thing…

So what’s the proper etiquette here? What do you all do? Wave? Honk? (Probably not a great idea where I live since everyone honks anyway.)

I think that's fair, but lots of people can't navigate without Google Maps, and it's notorious for directing people to u-turn.

    Unpopular opinion: Navigation proficiency should be part of any driver licensing. Because lacking this leads to unpredictable behavior that is dangerous for everybody.
