I actually avoid large busy intersections where I have to turn left and will seek out a side road where I can turn onto the busy road I want to get to either before or after the large intersection, so I am instead riding straight as I pass thru the large intersection. All that is to say I am probably not an authority on this issue...at all.
But I do drive, and get annoyed when motorcycles slide between cars since they arent supposed to pass a vehicle while in the same lane as that vehicle. Applying that to bikes isnt unreasonable.
