Bike lane or not, the car still needs to cross it in order to turn.
I was almost "right hooked" a couple of weeks ago from a similar situation but during the day. If I had gotten hit it would have been my fault.
Ride so that if you were driving you'd not run yourself over.
They could have looked out their mirror. They had passed me less than 60 seconds earlier as we approached the light. So they knew there was a cyclist behind them. I have a 600 lumen light that was on solid, and a smaller planet bike on blinking light on the front. Cars are required by law in CA to merge into the bike lane before a turn across the lane and also to use a turn signal.
