  80. If there are two turning lanes for a left turn and you are towing a trailer, which lane should you use?

    • The inside lane
    • Either lane, starting from the inside
    • The left-hand turn lane
    • The right-hand turn lane
    Show answer

    Correct answer: The right-hand turn lane

    Always take the right-hand turn lane, and do not start in the inside lane because you may have to swing right to make the turn.
