Where I live this is basically every driver.

Hell 1 day I had a van turn into me as I was crossing the road without indicating (for clarity I was crossing the side road) and started waving his arms at me in a panic like I should have known that’s what he was going to do

I do. At the same time drivers stopped giving a fuck about indicators the gov changed the highway code to state if I put a foot on the road you stop.

Ofcourse that’s fucking insane but dems allegedly da rules

You need to come to Malaysia. Here people indicate left, then turn right.

I have been in two car collisions in my life (neither my fault), and this was the cause of one of them. Person was in the left lane with their left indicator on, was at a complete stop with wheels pointing left waiting for cars to pass (I assumed), then turned right into me as soon as I was on their right.

Fortunately, they admitted it to the police and insurance. It was kind of a blessing in disguise as it technically totalled my old clunker, even though it was just cosmetic body damage. But, the insurance adjuster asked if I wanted to keep the car or not, and I said yes. So he put the damages at $50 less than whatever the % was that would require me to give the insurance company my car for the payout. I didn’t need to repair it, and that money helped as a broke college student.
