I've got a new job, and I commute on a road I'm not used to, at all. A 45mph road with four lanes. For the most part, I have no problems riding on it.

The only time I have troubles is when I'm preparing to turn right down another road.

See the attached diagram.

I'm fairly far left in the RTOL, but every morning I have numerous cars accelerate past past me and then cut right in front of me. Its made for a couple close calls already. Its a fairly long turn lane, and I don't mind it so much until I get real close to the turn.

How do you guys avoid this?

Red line is me on the bike, blue line is the car. Keep in mind, I intend to turn right here as well.
