As this thread has all gone a bit C+, I'm going to insert an off-topic rant:
Why the fuck don't the majority of road users know that when you're at a cross-roads, and you want to turn right, and someone coming the other way wants to do the same, you're supposed to pass each other on the far side ie. past/behind them, unless there are markings on the road instructing you to do otherwise?
It's common sense. If you pass in front of each other, you can't see what the fuck's going on on their side of the road, so the risk of a collision with oncoming traffic is greatly increased.
I've taken to signalling quite late, as otherwise the oncoming right-turner is even more likely to cut in front of me - I've even had police cars do this.
It irritates the fuck out of me. So there.
EDIT: nearside-nearside allowed :(
