Passing on the right

Why do these idiot cars insist on passing me on the right after a left turn!!!!
I made the left turn, i guess the guy behind me wanted my spot on the road so he blew around me on the right in a hurry. What a jerk!
Ok, fine, I vented. now I feel better.
We are happy you feel better.
Thank you........
Your welcome.
Need more info. after you made your left were you in the left lane, because if you were what's the problem they have a right to the right lane if your in the left lane. Now are you saying they used the shoulder of the road then you would be okay *****ing about them...
I turned left from a left turn lane into the left lane as per proper procedures. The gentleman behind me was in a hurry and turned left into the right lane (disobeying proper procedures) in order to blow by me. Now, to make matters worse, the weather was foggy and misty. He doesn't know if I even see him. If I had not seen him and decided to get into the right lane, I would have hit him.
My point to all this, when did it become ok for motorists to pass a truck on the right? What idiots!
Well that explains a lot.
With that said, when turning left in a left turn, one is to make the turn into the left lane, then move over as conditions allow.
This idiot behind me turned immediately into the right lane and into my blind spot. Wrong move.

Sorry should have been clearer. As shown in my picture some states teach and as beachbum stated....it is OK to use either lane when turning left.
Once a lane is chosen you must stay there. If you wish to change your lane you have to look, use your signal and change lane when clear.
I'm sure an excellent driver as yourself ragman....you would not have hit him as you would first look, signal look again and then change lanes when clear.

Ca. Turns I did look and see some states only allow turns into the left lane

I reread you OP, nothing was said in the below quote.
This is Michigan's turning procedures.
My gripe is with those that insist on turning into the right lane as I am still making my left turn.
