I was waiting to turn left at an oblique intersection. I could have made it in front of the SUV, but objects are closer than they appear, and I take extra caution at the oblique intersections, since I have to accelerate *towards* oncoming traffic.

Then the SUV, instead of turning, *stops*... WTF? Is the driver stopping for the pedestrian behind him? No, wait, turns out they just can't manage a sharp corner. And they have no idea where the front of the car is-- the backup lights come on!


And an overhead view of the intersection. To be fair, it *is* a sharp corner, but it should be easily manageable... My track is green.2014-12-24_130511.gif
 
That is a little sharp but that small SUV should have made it. With my pick up truck, I would have to swing wide to the left then right as I have a long bed, it has a longer wheel base.
 
Not a good driver, but better safe than sorry....
