Ah yes. That just works so well for everybody there too. Nobody gets stuck behind the guy turning left because his car is outside of the flow of traffic. I'm actually pretty sure they made me show them I knew how to do this when I got my license in Winnipeg.

Then there was when I first moved to Calgary and discovered you were not allowed to make a U turn at a traffic light. I found this out from the officer who stopped me. The funny part; when I was pleading my case to just get a warning from him he refused to believe that you were allowed to do a U turn at a light. Wasn't until his partner came up; only hearing part of the conversation, and agreed with me about how that was the law there.
