slight right angle
"The position of that vehicle was at a slight right angle with its offside wheels firmly in the dedicated right turn lane by at least a couple of feet.
The nearside of the vehicle was still in the single lane of traffic.
I cannot recall if that vehicle was indicating a right turn but its position indicated to me that it had moved out to the right from the nearside lane into the dedicated right turn lane."
I'm confused because the right angle cannot be "slight", it's a 90 degree angle; unless they mean it was at a slight angle as if turning right. How do you understand it?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

(slight) angle
You're right of course, a right angle is 90º. 'Slight' right angles don't exist!

: Yes, it's at a slight angle because it's starting to turn.

: A "slight angle to the right" rather than a "slight right angle".

Just be glad this isn't French where "droit" means right and "tout droit" means straight ahead!
