This is correct until for the 15th time, you correctly enter the left lane at 6:00 planning to go straight and exit at 12:00, but some doofus enters the right lane at 6:00 beside or just behind you and at 1:00 decides to speed left in front of you t-bone style, to turn left (exit at 3:00), just as you're about to exit at 12.

It is a heart stopper!!

The only way to avoid that is to use the right lane to go straight, but that doesn't always prevent it either.
