But, if you're going straight and there's a right turn lane and the light is green, you're between cars. Maybe you take the lane in the intersection itself, but for the length of the lane approaching it (which could be an entire city block), you're in your normal position.
Likewise if you're turning left from a left turn lane. Even more so if there are two left turning lanes (which would mean that even if you take the lane the entire way, there will STILL be traffic on your left in the other lane).
Yes it's scary having cars passing you on both sides, but I think that there's taking the lane, and then there's just plain holding up traffic, and IMO the latter is just inviting road rage.
