i have long said that the best safety device a car could have would be an 8 inch blade pointing at the driver from the centre of the steering wheel.
On my way home tonight i encountered a guy in a Corvette that indicated right and turned left as i was behind him. Nice car. But no excuse.
The worst ever was when i was on my motorbikes and a guy towing a caravan did the same thing. At a roundabout he was indicating to go straight on, so i moved to his left - and then he turned left! He'd wired the lights up back to front but if i'd been going at my usual speed, he'd have killed me.
Naturally, i reminded him in a friendly way about his duty of care to other road users and wished him a pleasant day.
