Another technique when approaching left turners (or right turners here in Oz) is to ride in the lee of another vehicle across the intersection - but in the next lane to the vehicle you are shadowing. Obviously you want to be sure the vehicle you ride beside isn't in a turning lane themselves.
If I'm approaching an intersection I will often accellerate to close the distance between me and a vehicle ahead (who is in a parallel lane) so I don't get those buggers who are just waiting for the guy ahead of me to pass before turning across my front.
Cheers, Richard
