I should have clarified that; I did not have a stop sign so I had the right of way. I slow down in that spot in anticipation of drivers not stopping at their stop sign. I do move all the way over to the left when I'm turning left. I'm going to try practicing more with hand signals because I know I'm really bad at that. I'm somehow better at riding one handed with my left hand on the bars than with the right so my hand signals are usually very short and wobbly.
