    The good news: I don’t drive anymore

    The bad news: I did that shit because I grew up on an intersection with a real bad angle, so the only way to see both directions was to angle the car flat with the road I was turning onto. Then, even after moving, I did it because it gives better visibility.

      We might be talking about something different, or maybe I’m just having difficulty understanding. You at least have a good reason for doing what you did. What I was mentioning is when people turn to the opposite direction of their actual turn, because they think they need more room to clear the sidewalk corner. The solution to this is to simply pull FORWARD a little more before your turn. It’s NEVER a good idea to move unpredictably on the road, and that action is a prime example.
