Commute home last night went ok.
-What went well was that I was able to perform a left turn in busy two lane traffic in the 'correct' manner.

Only a couple of minor things:
-Turning left into a road where a car was waiting to do a left turn out:
Just as I was turning across it, it started to move, and then braked when it realized I was there. That concerned me because I did indicate before making a turn. Maybe I should indicate for longer to make sure they see me, but then there is the trade-off that you have less control with one hand.
-Turning left into a traffic island:
There was a car behind that wanted to go straight. It was one of those 50/50 situations, I decided to slow down to let her pass before making my turn. Maybe I should have just moved to the left in front of her making her slow down.
