Oohoh. Pet peeve time. Even if you want to be ultra conservative and wait for the light to turn (assuring a safe turn), you should proceed into the intersection to do it, not wait at the stop bar. Then you turn after the light changes, assuming you haven't been able to turn sooner. This also allows one or possibly even two more cars, who have also crept past the stop bar, to turn if everybody drives the intersection properly. That's the proper...and safe...way to make left turns on a green ball.
