Now that I think about why this hasnt happened to me, we dont have any right turn on red here in NYC so really not an issue. Of course when I am going straight and see the guy next to me is turning I will eithe cheat up past his bumper so I can clear the intersection before he turns or hang back and wait for him to to turn if he seems aggressive or I cant get up into the intersection before him.
