what's the issue here?I have this issue 2-3 time a week right here. People just don't care, and they're under the impression that they're the only ones on the road.

Nobody abides by the lane lines during their turns. The common maneuver is to move into the left-most lane during their turn, regardless of which lane they started in.what's the issue here?
Within a few months of starting driving, I noticed that Dad had a number of bad driving habits, including, but limited to, binary use of the gas and brake, tailgating, speeding, and cutting off other traffic at T-intersections. I also learned quickly that he didn't appreciate his 16-year-old offering up helpful corrective advice.The shocking people part can be priceless lol.
This. Being from Texas I’ve always noticed that this is common in the South as opposed to anywhere else in the country. It’s also very common on two lane rural route roads when someone wants to make a left, they swing out to the right first.
I tend to "apex" turns every chance I get, as many "racers" do. But I won't switch lanes in a multi lane turn, even with nobody around. That's just bad practice and has a poor "risk-reward-ratio".
For those who don't know, the diagram above is generally the simplest way to be fastest. Brake early enough to avoid braking in the turn, turn in a touch late and spend as much time under full acceleration as possible. Many people think it's OK to turn in early, but that's not so, it leads to a hard correction at the exit of the turn.
Of course, if your vehicle is already at it's maximum speed of 43mph (the speed local drivers go in the 55 zone) such tactics won't help you much. Might as well stay on the inside line.
In that picture. You should maintain your lane if in the left lane. Seems a double lane turn.
If you were in the right lane, and took the turn basically the inverse of the green line.. well you could be stopped for that.
If you are like me, and intent on driving properly, being orderly, actually doing the speed limit particularly where you know the police sit etc etc.. this isn't about you know its just a ticket etc, that is still time out of the day and generally just a hassle. It is best avoided. So when you see this done everywhere.. its not your problem, no, and its generally not usually unsafe to do unless part of a road rage, but it does make you wonder, "Why am I the only one doing right."
