   LOL!   
      
   Yeah, in most cases around where I live, if there are two turn lanes at an   
   intersection there are two corresponding lanes on the road they turn onto.   
      
   If I'm in front in an outside left-turn lane, I'll usually just gun into the   
   left turn to prevent the inside-left-turner from trying to come over(which   
   I've experienced too many times).   
      
   Multiple rights(as I posted)?  Rarer than hen's teeth at least in my neck.   
      
   If I'm a car or two behind the leader in the outside left, I'll usually follow   
   the car in front of me verrrry close - as in, cannot even see his license   
   plate close! - so that the suitcases in the inside-left can't sneak over even   
   if they tried.  :)
