one of the tricks employed by the savvy traffic bicyclist is claiming a lane of traffic immediately between two vehicles as the forward vechicle becomes a turning or potentially turning car. staying cognizant of hookers or places where hookers are likely to pounce is savvy bicycling. Yielding to a car turning right ahead of me? YEP, its a left vector yield, into the main lanes. with skill and savvy, your speed as a rider doesn't have to necessarily drop to a stop. Stopping in a lane of traffic is a bad idea.

"yielding" to right turning vehicles, by avoiding being caught to the right of a right turner, is EXACTLY what the big armchair book of bicycling recommends.

Its what most of you are asserting: YIELD to avoid being caught to the right of a potentially right turning vehicle. YIELD by slowing so you are no longer to their right.
