From the highway code.
157: When turning at a cross roads where an oncoming vehicle is also turning right, there is a choice of two methods
Turn right side to right side; keep the other vehicle on your right and turn behind it. This is generally the safest method as you have a clear view of any approaching traffic when completing your turn
Left side to left side, turning in front of each other. This can block your view of oncoming vehicles, so take extra care.
I was taught the first method when I learnt to drive. (I may be wrong but I think that was the only way described in the Highway Code then). My prefered method (depending on the situation) as you can see the oncoming traffic. Of course, if there are enough cars turning right in both directions and nobody leaves a gap you can end up with a total 'no go' situation. More people these days seem to prefer option two.
Is this common 1002MrBitsy submitted this idea : I don't follow that logic behind that theory at all. I do the MSM thing without fail at every turn or deviation...
On another note... How about those people who, on a larger crossroads, pull one car length into the junction. Everybody behind them is stuck at the lights until they change to red and single car turns right. I'm obviously talking about a junction that can accomodate several cars waiting to turn right. I have occasionally (conditions permitting) pbutted them on the left and waited in front of them to turn right.
