An example is what I stated above. Expatguy is claiming that the driver on the OUTER lane of a two-lane left-turning section did an illegal U-TURN.
Actually, (with respect to expatguy), he is on the wrong lane position. He was going to the left so he should be on the OUTER LANE not the inner lane.
The OUTER LANE are allowed to turn left or make a u-turn in anticipation of the inner lane going u-turn also.
If you are on the INNER lane going left and the guy on the outer lane makes a u-turn, you have to GIVE WAY to him to make a U-turn because you are out of position. Blowing your horn doesn't make you right.
I think this is one subtlety of the road rules here in Qatar that is why there are near-misses or in fact collisions in left turns and a lot of horn blowing.
Just observe this on the intersections with two-lane left-turning sections.
