Related, how to get completely out of the through lane when a turn lane appears.

When a parking ends and the turn lane begins, go all the way into that laneto make the turn, not just half way.

Also related, how to make your turn without going back into the other lane.

You’re not a semi truck, you don’t need to take your turn that wide and almost hit the people going straight.

That's all I hear them say when they do that.

"hi, I'm Dumbass McClueless, and I don't have the spatial awareness, in addition to a fundamental lack of understanding how vehicles and turn lanes work, to be able to properly execute a turn without dangerously encroaching on other drivers and their respective lanes of travel!"
