Just turn left you idiot

Pet hate of the week - people that turn out slightly before making their turn. You know the manouvere - the car in front indicates to go left, then it swerves right before turning left. That's ok if you are in the car behind, but a complete pain in the ring if you are on a bike next to the car. It's a good way to end up flat on the pavement.

Yes, trucks and buses with big turning circles need to make that manouvere, but I have seen it on tiny little Japanese cars that look like they should have three wheels rather than four and a bubble roof. Things that have a turning circle smaller than our pram.

Someone needs to invent a nice, lightweight rocket launcher.
