Only after they've established themselves in the far left lane can they safely change lanes. In the opposite traveling traffic, as long as there is a right on red and the driver turning right has stopped first, he can proceed into the far most right lane. If the driver turning left stays in his legal lane and the driver turning right stays in the far right lane, both can safely proceed without accident.
Were you a cop in FL? Traffic laws differ by state...
