I usually wait it out. I say usually because I have done it before with big gaps between cars.
Stick your arm out, turn your head and look right at driver and only go when you note car has slowed and/or driver has given some sort of feedback that its OK to merge in front of me. Is the left turn at an intesection where these 45mph cars sometimes need to stop? Practice really helps I've found.
