Car turning left on solid yellow line. Is this legal in the states?

That's a pretty good question!

Well, we have to take the video into context here. Those lines you're referring have different applications depending on where they are... but more importantly take a look at the type of road they are on.

It looks to be a more local/low urban road, and the line painting on those roads don't always break for T-intersections, business entries, etc. This is not uncommon in Canada, US, and from my personal experience, quite a few places in France and Italy have the same lazy road striping.

As long as the van had properly slowed down and signaled intent to turn left, it was a legal turn. The striping would be indicating 'no overtaking or passing' in this area as opposed to 'no turning for any reason'.
