Every time I make this point to bicycling communities I'm told that I'm "victim blaming." OK, you were a victim. You're still dead.

Bicycling communities suck for learning safety. The correct thing to do is take the full lane and take dutch lefts (turning right into perpendicular traffic then going straight to avoid changing to a left hand turn lane). People should be preaching it from the rooftops to save lives. Wouldn’t need to have bike lanes everywhere if people were fully taking lanes, forcing a merge to pass them, and being far more visible to traffic vs riding along the shoulder and getting doored and right and left hooked. The current bike lane gold standard of buffering traffic with parked cars means bikes are invisible at intersections and driveways to cars which is where many accidents tend to happen.
