I would never drive my car straight out of a right turn lane and then merge back into traffic, so why would I want to do that on my bike?

Advantages:
1. Makes it obvious to other road users that you're going straight.
2. Lets right-turning road users turn.
3. Prevents passes within the intersection.
i think [MENTION=313684]spivonious[/MENTION] says it best and in my opinion closes this thread. I also agree with [MENTION=175954]Tundra_Man[/MENTION] as well. I would ride my bike as if i was driving a car. we want respect we should be patient and wait our turn to cross intersection.
