I try and set up rides with mostly right hand turns for similar reason although I do obey the law and stop and signs and lights.

one day on my loop in So Jersey just as pulled up to a stop sign I was almost hit by another cyclist. she usually rides with traffic ( see her often) but I guess she is one of the thousands that think traffic laws do not apply to bikes. anyway I guess she was turning left so she just cut the corner almost ran me over and then crossed back to the correct side of the road.
