Signals are "nice to have". It doesn't make sense to rely on them to keep you safe.
(I might have been taking the lane in that situation.)
I think they didn't understand it. I was taking the lane, I was making my right turn, they were going straight through the intersection. I pointed right and began to turn, they started to go but thankfully quickly stopped. I think they thought when I pointed right I was telling them to go ahead of me, even though I didn't have a stop sign (they did).
