if you felt safety dictated you stay behind the line of cars, all well and good. if you let cars slow you down to make a statement about vehicular parity, i laugh in your general direction...
you're in the %1 percent club i guess, congratulations, your ersatz medallion is in the mailbag.....
A little harsh, Bek. But I have a similar situation except without the turn lane, and I actually hop on the sidewalk, cut through a grassy lawn, then hop down the curb on the others side. All VC no-nos. But there is barely any traffic turning right and a big long backup.
