Sure, it'd hurt, but I don't think you'd be seriously injured. Now, if the left turning car got plowed into by a semi, that's another story. Mass wins in accidents.
You should be a risk assessment officer. Seems to be your calling.
lol...good one. It's actually not very much different from what I actually do.
As for the intersection. This is a pretty tight two lane. If I spit, I could land the gewb right on the windshield of the person turning left. If he gets hit halfway through that turn, he's sliding right through where I would be standing.
