You can get other advice at http://www.bikexprt.com/streetsmarts/usa/index.htm
also on YouTube they have good videos at the "Cyclist eye view". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFjCza5e1kw
Another good resource is CommuteOrlando. For this situation, Left Turns on Big Roads is a relevant article. It includes a good flash animation similar to scoatw's sketch.
