Yes, totally a crash collision risk! I've witnessed this happened once in a Costco parking lot. Car A made a right turn onto the left lane of the crossing road and the oncoming car B didn't pay attention at the moment and bumped into it head on.

- mturmon 10y agoI'm not sure we're talking about the same situation. But: in a standard right turn at a 4-way intersection in California, where neither street is one-way, when turning right, you must turn into the rightmost lane of the cross street. In particular (barring special things like dual right-turn lanes), you can't swing wide into the second lane of the cross street. By "second lane," I don't mean the lane for opposing traffic (obviously you can't go into that lane) -- I mean the left lane of the two that are going in the direction you are turning. If you are making a left turn, you can go into either the left lane or the right lane of the cross street. See item 2 (compare item 1) in the section "Examples Of Right and Left Turns" in the CA driver handbook (https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/pubs/hdbk/turns https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/pubs/hdbk/turns).
