Around here, a very common improper left turn for anybody is when you--the driver or
cyclist--slant across a left turn instead of making a 90 degree turn to the left. In order to cut
the corner like this, the driver slants across both lanes of the road. Kind of a diagonal turn
instead of a proper right angle turn. Cars run into each other doing this, especially when the
vision is blocked in some way.
