I'd worry that cars will pass me right side if I'm still on the left side during a left turn. I was thinking to take whole lane (in the middle) at the light and then slowly move towards to the right during a left turn.
It has not been my experience (considerable) that cars will try to pass a left turning cyclist on the right. Nevertheless I do not position myself on the left of any lane if I can help it. I am either in the center, or to the right but there is rarely a reason to be to the left.
