This has caused problems for me in the past.  The car at the front of the
queue often is not expecting a bicycle to be riding alongside them through
a left turn, and will complete the turn such that no space if left on the
motorist's right for a bicycle to ride.  It's possible to pass the front
motorist when the light changes to become the first through the turn, but I
find it easier to simply take my place in line.
