No matter what you do, it will be wrong in the eyes of some motorists. In this clip, from my commute home last night, I had started at a light to the right of a black volvo, who decided to make a right turn into the first driveway on the other side of the intersection. I get around him, and then am passed by one other car before the green Miata comes along, with several toots of her horn, and a lot of frantic gesturing making it clear to me that she felt that my lane position was too far to the left.

I should not have positioned myself so far to the right at the intersection to allow the volvo driver to think that he could share the lane, but the Miata driver was one of those who would not be happy if my presence required her to do anything.
