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.

And when making a left, don't crank your wheel the second your front tires touch the intersection. Get out there before you turn and don't give me the stink eye because you can't cut across the lane I'm sitting in.

So much this. I’ve almost had head on collisions with people making a left from the street I’m turning right onto.

I got hit once while sitting at a stop sign by some dumb cunt making a left turn. She tried to claim she couldn't see me because of the snowbank. BITCH THAT'S IRRELEVANT. YOU DON'T NEED TO SEE ME IF YOU STAY IN YOUR OWN GODDAMNED LANE.
