Imagine if you were driving a car in the outside through lane, and a driver in the inside through lane tried to turn right from the inside lane near the centerline, across your path. That's illegal.

You have no special right of way because you are on a bike in the bike lane. You are simply a vehicle operator in a lane, and other drivers should merge carefully into your lane when they need to use it.
