💡 Pro tip
California wants you IN the bike lane before a right turn — merge into it during the last 200 feet once it's clear, so a cyclist can never be on your right when you turn. The deadly mistake is the 'right hook': turning across a bike lane you never merged into.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Turning right across the bike lane from the car lane — the classic right-hook crash.
- Passing a cyclist and immediately turning right in front of them.
- Merging into the bike lane without a mirror + over-the-shoulder check for riders.
