Most Florida motorists do not know how to legally perform a right turn. A prudent vehicular cyclist who knows the car intends to turn right won't pull up abeam of the car. Further, even in this instance, if the cyclist doesn't know if the car plans to turn right but the lane allows either straight ahead or a right turn, the best course of action is to stop behind the car. You can be dead right and dead too. The question implies that the cyclist knows that the car intends to turn right. Most Florida motorists do not know how to legally perform a right turn.
