Keep fighting brah. If you win I'll start frontending at every opportunity.

Good luck with that... brah

I already have. Wet wipes! Dry paper hasn't had the pleasure of meeting my anus eye to dry in years!

Do you cc those too or just hold it in public.

Why do you think he carries a fanny pack everywhere? It's not because of his obsession with nutnfancy...

Although I have not heard back from "Louisiana" yet; I have found that many sources in other states prefer Dave's method of making this maneuver. I will wait for Louisiana's official response too. After all, we drive here!

Some of the examples I found.

Florida Driver's Handbook

I gave you Louisiana's answer. What that convoluted statute was trying to explain was the same thing as those diagrams.

Damn, cancelling cattle bumper order right meow.

I wasn't doubting your post. I was more doubting myself. Learning to drive in New Orleans, I was never taught to make turns this way. When I am down there, I actually still see a lot of people doing it the way I thought was the correct way. Now, that in no way excuses the silliness that is in MANY of the RS's of Louisiana.

I suppose that is just another reason people around the country think we are retarded down here!

I was taught the picture on the right in the early 90's in Texas, I'm guessing long before a butt-hurt redditor could have possibly posted that picture. So is the left picture law, or only in Davelandia?

 

[Brawny]

One thing I will add is that the neutral ground is different from the above examples. One can actually turn into the median and stop so it makes sense to turn in staying to the right rather than turning in and blocking the left side of the crossover.

Jmcrawf1 did in fact pull the verbiage off of the Louisiana RS's. They are generally considered the law of the land! At least here in Louisiana.

And I agree with that! That is why I want some douche from the state to go on the record with their reply. But, it is Friday; and I know that state workers like to do nothing on Friday's unless they have to; and even though I was told on Wednesday that my email was in fact received and would be answered shortly; I hold out no hope whatsoever that this conundrum will be solved before next week!

In Baton Rouge, here's my protocol: Doing whatever is required to safely get through without some dumbass knocking me into the Hereafter. I encounter daily those who don't appear to know how to handle a red light, much less a flashing yellow.

Me? Also taught that way in New Orleans in the late 70's.

The left picture is law, like I already posted in this thread.

Hmmm! So Heat, I see you use SPR #1 in that instance, eh? Good choice!

SPR #1 = Self Preservation Rule #1 is defined by the Emperor as: A conscious decision or lifestyle that puts his life and safety above all others while understanding fully that the world around him is chock full of morons, retards, and idiots that are predisposed to doing just about anything but concentrating on the Emperor's safety and well being!

Jm, I believe you! But I don't consider you a douche!

So for funzies, I will post what aforementioned state douche ends up telling me! When of course, they get back to me.

I went to Canes yesterday on Gause in Slidell...EVERYONE performed the action in the pic labeled "correct"....I watched at least 5 cars do this, as well as, a policeman on a motorcycle

I also saw this all the time in New Orleans when I lived there for.......wait for it; 40 years! It was not until I started commuting to B.R. that I started noticing this practice of going under instead of over; or inside instead of outside.

Truth be told, I just accepted as the people in Baton Rouge were retarded! Now it seems, I may be retarded! However, I am going to do what everyone that does something stupid does and blame someone else! After all, you didn't actually get taught how to drive in New Orleans in the 70's. You did what most 14 year olds on the cusp of turning 15 did to learn to drive; you stole your moms car when she wasn't around and drove to your friends houses!

i guess louisiana drivers are just uneducated on this matter...at this point, we are left with doing it the wrong way b/c that's what the masses do...I may only have to execute this type of turn a couple times a year, it's not worth the trouble to do it "right", the confusion and risk of an accident just isn't worth it.

And they were all doing the wrong thing.
