You should use both lanes.
If making a left turn where there is more than one available turn lane, you should always choose to take the rightmost lane.

This will allow you to have the best possible view of other turning vehicles and will lower the risk of your vehicle colliding with them.

Improve fuel economy.
Tires on the same vehicle should all be equally sized. Ensure your tires are not mismatched when inspecting your vehicle.

For an unlimited number of stops.
In an air braking system, the air storage tanks can usually hold enough compressed air for the brakes to be used several times.

Focus on your own driving and not worry about other drivers.
While driving, you should consistently check the road ahead for hazards. Develop a plan to deal with any hazards that could arise.
