I have been in a similar situation before. I was approaching the intersection and pulled into the turn lane at a green (yeild) light. I couldn't have been thinking because I just executed my turn as if I had a green arrow even though I knew better. Lucky for everyone involved the truck I was turning in front of swerved out of harms way and blasted me with his horn. I was also fortunate that no cop was around to revoke my license (which I would have deserved). Well, getting shaken by that near accident was pretty effective because I haven't done anything like that since. It would not have been pretty either, considering I was turning at 20 mph and the truck was approaching at 50 mph.
