Just this past Saturday I was making a left turn onto a major road, before making an immediate right into a parking lot by the LBS. I contemplated filtering to the right of the cars in the left lane. But then I came to my senses and waited my turn in line. This is a large intersection with those diagonal yield/merge lanes for right-turning traffic. The arrow is relatively short there, but there were only a few cars in front of me. Not much of a gap had opened up by the time I got through the intersection, not much more than if I had been in my car, really. I had no problems. As I turned right into the right lane, I immediately stuck my right hand out to signal to the motorists waiting at the right turn yield/merge lane to wait until after I passed before starting to merge into the through lane.
