If you did move left to let a motorist turn right, move back to the center of the lane before the light turns green to prevent the idiot behind the first motorist from trying to pass you on the right.
Agreed, but as I've said this lane was of a substandard width to allow a car to either pass within the lane or make a right turn.

Also from my position I couldn't see if she had her turn signal on or not. The first that I knew of her being behind me was when she started to honk her horn at me to get me to move out of her way.
