I see some folks turn from the golf cart lane straight across the car lane and turn all in one motion. Looks dangerous to me when they do that.
And then this happened to me...

I'm southbound on St. Charles and have moved from the diamond lane into the car lane to turn left into Sterling Heights Rec Center. I'm fairly close to the center line. While I'm waiting for oncoming traffic to pass so a I can turn left, the car waiting behind me gets impatient and passes me on my right by using half the car lane and all the diamond lane.
