Shortly after reading this comment, I was driving and had someone just in front of me commit one of my pet peeves - a great big, dumb, widening of their turn. Like, to the point where their wheels are out of their lane on one side to make a turn in the other direction. You see it pretty often with SUVs (I guess they roll a bit much and people can't be bothered to slow down enough to make a proper turn?), but this was with a Prius. A friggin' Prius. Dude just about swiped parked cars on the right while widening to take his left.

HOLD YOUR LINE! There needs to be a "We're going to yell honk at you" thread on CarForums.net.
He needs one of those signs they put on 18-wheelers about making wide turns.
