It is becomming frighteningly common (to the point that some drivers probably believe it to be legal) for drivers in the left turn lane to immediately procede with their left turn the moment the traffic light goes GREEN, indicating that thru traffic can procede thru the intersection.
They make their turn directly in front of the oncoming traffic, most of whom are starting from a dead stop, but who may be acceleerating rapidly and not planning on an idiot suddenly bolting into their path from the oncoming left turn lane.
Very scary when you are one of the straight thru drivers expecting clear road, and any hesitation on your part to ensure the intersection is clear before you start thru seems to encourage/enbolden more of the left turn jumpers.
