Each of the past three days, a car has made a turn into my lane that required rapid deceleration on my part. Each time I concerned myself more with not striking the other vehicle and not giving the horn.
1) Making a left turn (with green arrow) from 40mph street to another 40mph street. The opposing traffic was stopped. A car came to the intersection, looked both ways then made a right turn on red into my path.
2) Driving along a street, the interstate off-ramp yields to my traffic. Exiting car tried to merge into my car.
3) Driving in right of two lanes, in right turn only lane. Approaching green light, opposing traffic, car makes left turn across traffic into my car.
No incident resulted in actual vehicular conflict. I wouldn't even comment except this is a deviation from the norm.
