Are you incompetent? A bike lane is no more an issue when making a left
turn than any other traffic lane on a road with more than one lane.


No. Motor vehiclists might expect cyclists to stay on the bike lane and
do indirect left turns.


BZ still doesn't understand that since "they have their own lane"
motorists want cyclists to stay in those lanes. Turning left out of that
lane is the cyclist's problem, not theirs. "We can't go in their bicycle
lane, why do they think they can come into ours?"
