When to go or not to go in an intersection?
Scenario 1 is accepted practice for most: move into the intersection and then proceed with the left hand turn when it is safe to do so. Be warned, however, that Scenario 2 can lead to a ticket. While you have a legal right to “clear the intersection”, or finish a turn when it is safe to do so, you cannot enter the intersection on an amber light.
