Bikes: Working on replacing my stolen Soma Buena Vista Mixte

I had to signal a driver to stop this morning on my way to the train station. I was turning left from a non-dedicated turn lane onto the "main street." As I waited at the light, there were a couple of cars in front of me, and a bus was behind me 1-2 vehicles back which was also making the left turn. As I approached the intersection as the light turned green, I started to move up, I saw a car pacing me from the other lane hoping to get in. The car started off a few vehicle lengths behind me. When there was about a 1/2 car length in front of me, the car tried to do a speed up maneuver that would have led to hitting me as I made the turn. I looked over at the driver and motioned him to stop instead of speeding up to cut me off, as it wasn't safe with oncoming traffic. The car followed behind me then sped off like a crazy person! I couldn't believe he couldn't just wait as there was plenty of space behind me.

So irritating how many drivers do not just wait their turn.
