52F and mostly cloudy with winds from the S @ 4mph. Prevented what could have possibly been a sideswipe accident this afternoon. I came to a stop light and was the first one at the line. At this intersection the right lane is very wide. You can turn left, go straight, or turn right in this particular lane. I was in the center of the lane because I was planning to go straight. An SUV squeezed to the right of me pulling up the the stop line. I kinda knew something didn't seem right when he didn't turn right when it was clear and there was no "no turn on red" sign. I figured he was going to go straight and sideswipe me in doing so. Maybe he thought I was gonna turn left even though I was centered in the lane. When the light turned green, I waiting for him to do his move, and sure enough, he went straight. I'm glad I waited and didn't assume he was turning right, or I'm sure I would have been hit. Besides that, it was a great commute home this afternoon.
