There are intersections where I can safely move over to the extreme left of the right lane or can pull ahead of the stop line so right-turners can go. Examples are Kinsman & USH 51 (Stoughton Road) and Commercial & Packers Avenue. But I cannot safely do it at Fair Oaks and East Wash for example. It's at locations like this where I am occasionally yelled at.
