Agreed.
When I am stopped and waiting for a traffic signal I invariably look behind me to see if the car behind me is trying to make a right turn. If he/she is and seems to be holding off out of fear of causing me injury, I always move out of their way and motion for them to go ahead and make the right.
I don't know if karma is real or not - but it doesn't hurt to be nice where I can be.
