Was driving around with Mum yesterday (I have my L's, FYI). Was going to turn right off of a road (indicators on for plenty of warning), and as I was turning the people in the car behind me decided to try and overtake.

No one got hurt, which I suppose is the main thing. Not a great confidence booster for such a new driver, though.

Glad you're ok.

Stu, you're in the U.S., right? Australians drive on the other side of the road, so when he went to take a right hand turn and the people behind him were trying to go around him in the right hand lane, they just ran into him.

I know Aussies drive on the other side of the road, I can even see the wheel on the other side of the car, if that's any indication. My imagination is not limited by which side of the road you drive on.

I couldn't picture it because I was assuming that in order to turn right, he was already on the right hand lane.

This is why in some countries, you must be on the leftmost lane to turn left. That way you can't be in front of anyone else.

Do you have pics of the other car?

I'm from Australia and you have to be in the left lane to turn left and right lane to turn right. Maybe it was a single lane road, or maybe the left lane was blocked and the driver tried to overtake in rage on the wrong side of the road.. my mate did that recently and is going to court in a week for it.. a cop almost t boned him.. how unlucky
