sure... as I said. It can be helpful for very narrow turns, like driveways, you are correct. But there is no need to do it from a main street into a side street.

I try it everyday at work when going into the driveway and it's impossible.

yes, true if you turn out wide enough... and helpfull for a very narrow space. But I bet you can still make the turn without first swirving out... try it.

But the amount of swerve left before turning right such as in my post is not enough to make any real difference to the angle of turn or the thrust line. The same turn can be made without swerving out and putting other people in potential dangerous positions.

What a croc. You're right in saying the rear wheels follow the front, however, the straighter you drive at the something, the less space you will take up in the turn. Say there is a big fence with a small gate to drive through, it will be impossible to turn into that gate approaching it parrallel to the gate, however, if turning out then in (and making your angle more perpendicular, the angle is widened and you are able to drive through without scratching the side of your car.
