   When I was 16, and first learning to drive, I almost T-boned an elderly   
   female driver.  She moved over to the right-hand lane, signaled a right   
   turn, started to turn to the right, then apparently realized that she   
   really needed to make a left turn.  So, she abruptly went left instead of   
   right, directly across my path, without giving any indication that she   
   was going to do so.
