yes frittergirl, i myself do try to get in the left lane if not turning, for example: i live in mustanf and get off on mustang rd. from i-40 and head south. at reno i try to get in the left lane bc the majority of traffic turns right to head home. but i know people who either was taught to never turn on red, or just do not do it for safty reasons. i too get ants in my pants if i'm behind someone who is going staight and i want to turn, because i am always in a hurry so i can definitly understand.
