Enough about zipper merges, let's figure out how to use a F***** turn lane.

A turn lane is for EXITING the roadway. Not entering. It is not to be used to merge onto a road because it's not clear enough for your impatient ass to make a left onto the roadway.

MICHIGAN VEHICLE CODE (EXCERPT) Act 300 of 1949 257.642 Roadway divided into 2 or more marked lanes; applicable rules; designation as HOV lane; restrictions; exceptions; designation as automated vehicle roadway or lane; violation as civil infraction. Sec. 642.

• (1) If a roadway is divided into 2 or more clearly marked lanes for traffic, the following rules in addition to all other rules that are consistent with this act apply: (a) A vehicle must be driven as nearly as practicable entirely within a single lane and must not be moved from the lane until the operator has first ascertained that the movement can be safely made. (b) On a roadway that is divided into 4 or more lanes and provides for 2-way movement of traffic, a vehicle must be operated within the extreme right-hand lane except if overtaking and passing, and must not cross the center line of the roadway except if making a left turn. (c) On a roadway that is divided into 3 lanes and provides for 2-way movement of traffic, a vehicle must not be operated in the center lane except under any of the following circumstances: (i) If overtaking and passing another vehicle traveling in the same direction, and the center lane is clear of traffic within a safe distance. (ii) In preparation for a left turn. (iii) If the center lane is allocated exclusively to traffic moving in the same direction the vehicle is proceeding and the allocation is designated by official traffic control devices. (d) Official traffic control devices may be erected directing specified traffic to use a designated lane or designating those lanes to be used by traffic moving in a particular direction regardless of the center of the roadway and operators of vehicles shall obey the directions of the traffic control device. (e) Official traffic control devices may be installed prohibiting the changing of lanes on sections of roadway, and operators of vehicles shall obey the directions of the traffic control devices.*

I am confident I'm going to be severely injured or killed by an inattentive downstater or out-of-stater on vacation up north in a rush to get to their next laid back moment of rest. They're going to rush into the center turn lane while I'm patiently waiting on my motorcycle to make a left off the highway from the other direction crushing me under their SUV. When that happens I want my wife to sue them into oblivion.
