This is my POV. I move will to the left and give them room to turn while still holding the lane for when I ride through the intersection. I've received many "Thanks" from drivers. I look at it strengthening the relationship between drivers and riders. Maybe next time that driver comes up on a bike they slow down a little more. If I don't give a little, maybe they squeeze out a rider if the lane is tight instead of waiting till more room is available.
