I agree I do have more time, I am also traveling at a higher speed because I am not taking as sharp of a turn, and because there are frequently stopped cars at that light while one is turning the bikes moving in the bike lane are often obstructed to the point of not being visible until they are in the process of running the red light while one is turning.
It is not my intent to say whether a "Right-Hook" or a "Left-Hook" presents a greater danger to the cyclist, merely that I find it greatly aggravating to hear someone use the avoidance of a cycling situation in which the driver would be at fault, to justify a situation where the cyclist would be at fault and still be in what I consider a dangerous situation.
Edit: To be honest I have many more issues with other drivers in MA than I do with cyclists, besides awareness of left turns needing to be more widespread among cyclists, I think they are doing as good a job as can be hoped for on the roads around here.
