Screw that, I'm taking my place in queue.
I had that happen to me a couple of years ago with a red pickup truck. I was stopped at an intersection as the first vehicle in line, and allowed what I thought was enough space for right turning traffic to make it's right turn. When the light turned green the truck proceeds to go straight on my right side.
And was advised at that time that I was "at fault" for not taking the lane. Because I'd given the driver of the truck "too much" space.
