may legally move left to turn left, to pass a parked or moving vehicle

many riders are so used to hugging the left that it never occurs to them to get out into the lane to pass people on the left.

this is especially hazardous in right turn only lanes, but also in conventional lanes where cars are waiting to turn right. don’t try to squeeze through, pass on the left!
