All that the "turn right" does is takes the judgement of whether you are making an attempt at second out of the hands of the umpire. If you turn right you won't be taking the chance of an ump saying "too bad you tried for second, out." As an umpire, if a runner wants to turn left, no matter what they are playing, that's fine with me as long as they go right back to the bag. If they dilly-dally out there or take a step to second, then in my book they are making an attempt and if tagged, buh-bye.
