well almost got taken out today by an older aggressive delivery guy. sigh...
was on a quiet residential area... approaching a stop sign (it was about 50m in front of me), I did my shoulder check and noted a white van about 75m back, I stuck my arm out to indicate I was turning left. He guns it. literally 5-10m from the stop sign he's now right next to me (on my left)... however I am in the left turn lane. He then pulls across into me (ie from my left towards my right). So I pound the rear right panel of his van and sure he hops out to yell at me saying I was in the wrong... sigh... I'm like dude you could have killed me, plus I had indicated well before here, and held my lane and had legal right of way. YOUR WRONG YOUR WRONG ETC... Ok sir... have a good day. I'm super annoyed... especially since my teenage kid is with me (at least they had the sense to back off well before this). So I explain what happened... by now I hope the guy has found the dent in his side panel (which was necessary given I was saving my own life and making him aware of a potentially fatal and illegal right turn). Somehow I do not expect him to have understood his rage issue, nor multiple illegal behaviors, nor have any remorse (except that panel). My only regret being I didn't get the name of him, the company, license, or phone numbers.
rant over.
