a car waiting at a stop sign on a cross-road, (to my left was turning right to join traffic that was coming my way. Twice this has happened, and they decide not to look both ways, and in effect get close to hitting me.
They WERE looking both ways. They were looking absolutely everywhere where they had any reasonable expectation of oncoming traffic to be coming from. You weren't in any of those places, so they didn't look at you. Sort've like getting upset because some fool couldn't figure out without being told that you keep your milk in the toolbox in your garage. They were NOT at fault, because you weren't where they had any reason to be looking.
