I don't follow. Were you in the center of the right-most lane, from which it is legal to go straight or right, and you were going straight? Why not move over to the left to let the right-turner go past you on your right?
Or were you in the center of the left lane, which goes straight or left? In that case, the VC position is to be near the right side, so that left-turners can pass you on the left.
And how would a BL help in this situation?
