If you are turning left on a green light then the oncoming traffic also has a green light and the left-turning vehicle must yield. If there is a collision in this case then the left-turning vehicle would be at fault.

You.didnt post a citation. You posted your interpretation. My point is ...again..if there is a SINGLE lane the left turning vehicle is going into, yes, he has the right of way. If there a multiple lanes, the driver turning left STAYS in the far most left lane throughout the turn. Once he's safely completed his turn, he may then safely change lanes. He does NOT legally get to swap lanes from the far left into any other available lane during the turn. That's called an improper lane change in any State. Simple stuff a lot of people ignore and develop bad habits because they're convenient
