Say you're the blue car waiting at a light, why do the cars turning left (as represented by the red line) have to cheat into your lane? Most of the time it isn't a big deal, but there are a few issues I have with it. First off, it's lazy driving, and I don't like to be on the road with lazy drivers - they have lots of other bad habits that are annoying and downright dangerous. [side rant: since when did it become acceptable to drive a 2000+ pound vehicle at high rates of speed and not take it seriously] It's also an issue when you're just pulling up to the light and you can't get to the line because car after car is cheating into your lane right in front of you. And needless to say, there are plenty of times when the cheater comes as close to possible to hitting your car - people freak when you get within a few feet of you car on the road, but they can get within inches when you're stationary and you're not supposed to care? And what happens when you have a big truck to your right blocking the turning traffics view, they continue on their same cheating path only to discover "oh wow, there's another car there that I'm about to barrel into".
I'm not asking for a perfect 90 degree turn, but damn, give me a little space here people.
