I generally move over to let cars get through to make right turns. But one time I was waiting at an intersection where the crossing street was one way [the wrong way] and a car started creeping up on my ass. I looked back and made like a "no" motion but he was clearly upset that I was blocking his path. The light changed and I went and he tried to make his right turn [the wrong way] into oncoming traffic approaching their light.
