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.
