A Driving Tip Not to Be Underestimated, Given by UPS Drivers: Do Not Turn Left at Junctions

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

Video tutorial

UPS uses software called Orion, which calculates routes preferring almost exclusively right turns, even if this slightly lengthens the journey. Why does it work? It saves fuel: you do not remain stationary with the engine running waiting for a gap in oncoming traffic.

There are fewer accidents: left turns are responsible for a large number of accidents at junctions. Consequently, reduced insurance costs; lower CO2 emissions.

It seems counterintuitive, but it leads to smoother travel. With this software, left turns have been reduced to 10% of the total, resulting in huge savings in fuel, miles, and operating costs: The YouTuber tested it on his own route and calculated a time saving of 7/8 minutes a day, one litre of fuel a week: 50 hours in a school year (taking his son to school) and 40 litres (also in a school year).

This is a solid and counterintuitive principle: the logic of the shortest route is not always the most efficient: UPS has demonstrated this on an industrial scale.
