Va. Model Jury Instr. Civ. No. 10.260
Driver’s Duty on Left Turn on Other Than Two-Way Roadways
The driver of a vehicle has a duty to approach a left turn in the extreme left-hand lane that is
lawfully available to him. In making the turn, he has a duty to turn into and, as nearly as
practicable, to leave the intersection in the extreme left-hand lane lawfully available to him.
If a driver fails to perform either or both of these duties, then he is negligent.
