If there is a car stopped in the rightmost through lane, and you are stopped next to it in a wide outside lane or a bike lane, then you are probably blocking right turning cars that could otherwise pass the straight through cars on the right. In this situation, you should merge to the left into the straight through lane, instead of forcing right turning cars to queue up behind you or pass you on the left and turn right in front of you.
