Oh No You Di'iht! Cue the Take-The-Lane stormtroopers to open up a can of whup-a$$ on you for that one!

My experience (and many others around here) is that cars will often right-turn behind you if you position yourself to give them room. Sometimes I see tenative would-be-right-turners in my mirror, I reach back and give them a wave-through and if they go I try to send them a smile&wave or thumbs-up to communicate "Thanks for being aware of me and being concerned for my safety!" Once in a while somebody won't go through. I'll wave them through twice, then it's on them if they want to wait.
