A Massachusetts Left Turn occurs when the driver of a vehicle, when stopped in impenetrable traffic or waiting for an inconvenient light, utilizes the empty oncoming lane of traffic to bypass the wait and make a left turn. This can range from a quick dodge around the car in front of them, to a full throttle blast down hundreds of feet of road. The longer the run between where the car crosses the center line of the road and the left turn, the greater the skill and daring of the driver.

Get the alabama left turn mug.n. You're at a traffic light trying to turn left. You can turn on green when there's no traffic, but there's always traffic at this intersection. You pull out into the middle of the intersection, wait until your light turns red, and turn when the oncoming traffic stops for the red light and before the traffic from the cross street starts going on their green light. Two or three cars turn behind you as well. Originated on West End Avenue in Nashville, Tennessee, because you'll never make a left turn off that street if you don't do a West End left turn.
