I call it a "Buffalo Turn" because a friend of mine who took a job in Buffalo NY reported to me that it was uncommomly common in that city. This maneuver is the following: While in the right hand lane, driver begins executing a right hand turn (presence or lack of turn signalling is not germaine here). Driver commences right hand turn by swinging to the LEFT, occupying about half of the left hand lane, then completing the turn to the right. In the meantime, the driver in the left hand lane who was cut off or almost side-swiped has a nervous breakdown. (The last step is not required, but is a frequent concurrent operation.)
