This is your entire probmlem. You have to drive as if they're out to get
you, every time! It's called "defensive driving".

But the socialists haven't taught anything real in the last couple of
decades - just self-esteem: "Duh, I can't find Kansas on a map, ...

"I personally believe that ..."

Feh. Learn to drive, otherwise you're a hazard to everyone else.

Well, eh, best defence is to attack, and destroy the enemy, the general said,
so driving a tank.
Eh, you can do 'defensive driving' (I do) only so much.
If the moron is unpredictable for any reason, then you need a tank.
Basically I am glad if anybody even uses turn signals here....

Turn signals should be ignored or at best be viewed with caution
and suspicion, as they can be misleading, even if the driver had full
intention of making the turn when turning on the signal. Several times
I've seen someone activate a turn signal, slow down, and just about as
the were going to turn, CHANGE THEIR MIND. I haven't seen that cause
an accident yet, but it's been close. And said drivers likely had no
clue why others blew their horns.

This is even more so if driving a motorbike, as you can easily
get into a slide.
So then I drive defensive and _slow_ (well at least at or below max allowed speed).
