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.
Yes, the cagers would like for us to dismount and make two (2) street
crossings as pedestrians. The cagers would also like us to ride on the
sidewalk, since they consider bicycles toy only suitable for multi-use
paths.

Conspiracy theory. BTW, since the vast majority of the public in the
U.S. are not cyclists, including the legislators, perhaps you'd care to
eplain why they haven't managed to get the legislature to make their
alleged wishes a matter of law.

The vast majority of motorists in the US do not obey speed limits, yet
the laws are not revised.

Of course, the US has evolved into something that is a democracy in
appearance only.
