The other times I was out far enough into the lane that the car had to go a bit left to pass me before turning right.
I've had close calls with this type of turn where some hurry-hurry pushy idiot feels the need to zoom past me then suddenly take a right immediately after clearing my front wheel. Without signalling.
Pretty much any time someone passes me in a rush and passes too close, I expect they'll slam on the brakes and hook a right. Therefore I ride to the center of my lane, and am prepared brake hard, to go left to get around their fool vehicle, and yell if they have a window down. A sarcastic "thanks!" is my usual.
