Is it possible that these motorists think you are going to move to the opposite side of the road to let them turn faster? I don't see what else they could be thinking when a cyclist starts moving left. A simple foot or two left in the lane though certainly would be hard to mistake for someone moving to the left side of the road. I don't get it either.
That makes three of us (Al, JoeJack, me), and countless lurkers, who don't get it.

SingingSabre seems to think he gets it, but his "explanation" suggests otherwise.
