   Sounds like my experience.   
      
   3 weeks to the day after I got my licence I was driving along a main   
   street in the center lane. For no apparent reason that I could see,   
   the woman driving the other direction decided that without signalling   
   come hell or high water she was going to make that left turn.   
      
   The shrubbery on that median was less than well trimmed to be sure but   
   she didn't even stop when making her left turn and my old beater of a   
   car (gift from my grandfather - it had 90000 miles on it) was quickly   
   written off by the insurance company.   
      
   Sounds like two p***ed off teenagers eh?
