I'm of the belief that it doesn't matter either way. You should not be making that right turn (yet) if a cart, a bicycle, or a donkey is close enough that they can hit you if they don't slow down. Any time you make an unforced action that impacts what the other guy is doing, you are wrong. This includes changing lanes, turning from a side street, entering a RB or even pulling out of your driveway. The responsibility is yours to make sure the way is clear. If I have to so much as touch my brakes because you pulled out in front of me, you are wrong under the law. It's called failure to yield the right of way. So whether you fully block the cart lane, partially block it, or turn from the car lane, there should be no one close enough for it to make a difference.

Unfortunately, when you "drive slow" and fail to keep up with traffic, YOU make it EVERYONE ELSE'S problem. You may never get in an accident, but I'll bet you CAUSE a bunch as other drivers make half a$$3d moves to get by you. I'm also not so sure I embrace the concept of driving on the same stretch of road as a driver who gets "very nervous". Take Uber instead
