Re: Making Left Turns

Examples of courtesy on the road seem few and far between. Unfortunately, this example of attempted courtesy from the on-coming driver sounds like a bad idea. If that driver were to cause an accident due to their attempted good deed, it would obviously be their fault. But, if you cause an accident because you take advantage of their attempted courtesy, obviously you'll be at fault. And maybe this driver is out for an insurance payout, so when you attempt to turn in front of them after assessing that the on-coming right lane is clear, they speed up and t-bone you. All they need to do is prove their light was green. A DVR in their windshield won't necessarily pick up them flicking their "flash to pass" and may not pick up that they slowed down or sped up either.
