Changing lanes in an intersection is illegal.

Itā€™s actually not illegal to change lanes in the intersection.. just something they prefer you donā€™t do, at least in Californiaā€¦

I cannot find anything in the Utah code book saying it's illegal to change lanes in an intersection.

I havenā€™t looked but I guarantee in my Utah drivers ed they told me not to change lanes in the intersection

They give you a lot of recommendations that are not necessarily law in the drivers ed book. Like not mashing the gas pedal as soon as the light turns green, or stopping for a total of 3 seconds at a stop sign. or, changing lanes under an intersection

Drivers ed teaches a lot of things that aren't law and doesn't teach a lot of things that are.

Maine has no line laws. That doesnā€™t mean we ignore them. SMH

Exactly, it is a warning, but has nothing to do with illegal. When I wait to turn right at intersection, I saw people change lanes to the most right all the freaking time. So many people here are delusional thinking this is same as running red lights.

Thatā€™s why I never assume people will stay on their lane, only drive out when thereā€™s no car. Any car on other lanes might switch lane at any point, doesnā€™t matter its intersection or not.

When accident happens, the one thatā€™s making right turn didnā€™t wait for clear traffic is always at fault, doesnā€™t matter the other guy was on the right most lane or switched to it.
