Last year, I was on my way to work making a left turn off the main road at the intersection of a side road. An impatient lady passed me on the left side & my fender + bumper got clobbered when I turned. Her insurance paid.
This morning, same intersection, same truck, same turn. I tapped my brakes a couple times first so the car behind me would notice I was slowing down before braking normally. I do that now specifically because of the accident last time. I go to make my turn & take a second glance in the mirror. Sure as $hit, the MF'er is passing me on the left side in the intersection!
I check the turn, avoid the accident, and commence swearing. Looking down, at my turn signal indicator... Oh, it isn't blinking, its burnt out. When I tapped the brakes it looked like I was signalling to go right.
Regardless, its illegal to pass someone at an intersection, I wonder how insurance would have dealt with my burned out bulb though...
