			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have reported on the law when it comes to changing lanes in an intersection a few times now.  Every time I do, people are amazed at what I say. </p>
<p>I have had phone calls from people asking me to email them what I said on the air, so they can show their friends.    They say nobody believes them.</p>
<p>I also had a woman tell me I gave her &#8220;wrong information&#8221; about the law and that she ended up choosing the wrong answer on her on DMV test. </p>
<p> Here&#8217;s the deal.  It is NOT a good idea to change lanes in the middle of an intersection.  And the DMV Handbook (which is a guide to safe driving) suggests that you don&#8217;t do it.</p>
<p> However, there is NO law that says you can&#8217;t.  So you can.  If you do it safe.  If you don&#8217;t do it safely, then&#8230;&#8230;.. you could get a ticket. </p>
<p>Or, if you cause an accident, you could be at fault.</p>
<p> Believe me, I have checked my facts and confirmed more than once with Metro Police on this.  </p>
<p> That being said.  If you have a question on your DMV test that says, &#8220;can you change lanes in the middle of the intersection?&#8221;  I guess the answer is NO, because that&#8217;s what the DMV handbook says.  Because it wants you to drive safe.</p>
<p>I hope this all makes sense.  Post your questions and I can try sort it out if you don&#8217;t understand <img src='http://blogs.lasvegasnow.com/traffic/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
