Keep your front wheels straight while waiting to turn (A).  You can't count on the driver behind you to stop in time, and if he just barely taps your bumper and your wheels are already turned left (B), you are going to be staring into the grill of an oncoming vehicle. The king of hearts is the only king without a moustache on a standard playing card.  Don't try to squeak a peak around the SUV that's sitting opposite you, either.  Just a clip to your fender can send you careening from light post to light post.  Your life is worth the wait for the next signal.
