I've noticed that a lot of people seem to think that when their view of the road is blocked, it means there is nothing there to see so they just pull out.
Had it happen to me the other day at Wally Mart. 2 lanes coming in, right one turning behind Checkers and the left one going straight. Lady waiting to turn toward 235, can not see any cars going straight because her view is blocked by the cars in the right lane, she ASSUMES they're all turning and pulls out.
I was in the left lane going straight, she looked very surprised when I slammed on the brakes, blew the horn and hit my high beams.
People were driving crazy today.....it's like they never saw rain before, and kept slamming on brakes.
