I saw something similar a month ago.

A cop has a car pulled over at the side of the street. The cop and the driver and a passenger are on the sidewalk talking. As I passed the scene and went to the central turn lane to make my left another car coming the opposite direction and making a right turn into the same street I'm turning into plows into another car that is already halfway through its 3 point turn. I wasn't surprised too because I saw the driver of the right turning car looking at the police scene behind me as he was making his right turn. People can be complete idiots most of the time.

The female driver of the other car screamed "Oh my God! My car! I can't believe you hit my car!" at least 3 or 4 times as I passed them. I thought that was pretty funny. I don't know why.
