Being aware is everything
i was in a backed up right lane to turn right. guy in front of me didn't queue across an intersection leaving a space for traffic in the other direction to turn right down another street. 50km/h zone.
so a guy comes along to turn right from the other direction but can't see particularly well cause he's got about 6 cars obscuring his view down the road, including me. instead of waiting till he can see or really easing his way through, he pretty much just went straight into his right hand turn. p plater on my left comes up doing at least 60 (probably closer to 70) and misses the front of his nose by about a foot. in the process p plater swerves left to miss and was probably fairly lucky not to sideswipe a telegraph pole and/or post office box. pretty ordinary driving all round.
