Which is why I think lane position is more critical in intersections than almost anywhere else. I prefer starting from the left part, turning left, or at least in the center. The precise plan really depends on what's coming after the turn.
For those still concerned about FRAP, it doesn't apply when preparing to turn left. Neither legally nor as a practical matter, the latter being more important as LDL mentioned.
