mtawife Posted February 27, 2018 Share #459 Posted February 27, 2018 Keep calling thing's out it keeps u focused also they call it a obstacle course because it's 2 turns u have to manuver properly by remember ur pivot points also there is a crazy Left after servicing a BS on coming traffic turning n also Left lane turning. Look at it b4 u execute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoSimmy Posted February 27, 2018 Share #460 Posted February 27, 2018 Probably acute turn or a hook turn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtawife Posted February 27, 2018 Share #461 Posted February 27, 2018 Watch that Left they turn also. Angle out n take both lanes it's a Right turn into the far Left Lane because after the Right u have to make a left at the corner See it b4 u do it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoSimmy Posted February 27, 2018 Share #462 Posted February 27, 2018 I think I understand u take up both lanes to make the right turn bec u have yo clear that rear right wheel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtawife Posted February 27, 2018 Share #463 Posted February 27, 2018 No the bus stop is on the right b4 the corner. There's 2 turning right lanes ur on the right at the bs now there's a right turning Lane on ur Left. Facing u (on coming traffic) r also turning. So u block ur left side From turning in front of u n u pull up to block on coming traffic from turning 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtawife Posted February 27, 2018 Share #464 Posted February 27, 2018 It's a hook turn but u have to block oncoming traffic n ur Left. Set it up Right even if u gotta wait but watch that light 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoSimmy Posted February 27, 2018 Share #466 Posted February 27, 2018 We were down town Manhattan today we did a turn like that we made a right service the BS then made a left but we could not make the left onto incoming traffic so we blocked the traffic on the left we set up the turn keeping the bus straight as soon as our light turn red we make turn but the left turn u have to set it up or else ur left rear wheel will end up on the island on the left side 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
