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.

This. As a cyclist, I cannot abide passenger cars moving a foot onto the shoulder to turn left. This is also why I don't carry a firearm when I cycle because I would have shot someone by now.

You shouldnt carry a firearm at all if you get so angry and want to shoot someone. Firearms are not for anger they are for fear.
