What Next - Idiot Drivers

This morning I had something happen that I have never experienced on my commute.

Last couple of blocks from the office in the industrial park that I work in I have a traffic light with a straight/right turn lane and a left undivided turn lane. Im on the right shoulder approaching the red light, nothing coming from behind, take the lane and pull up in the traffic loop just left of the center of the lane.
A little time goes by, woman in a coffee delivery service van pulls up next to me on the right side. I'm thinking that she is turning, so no big deal ....

Light turns green, look both ways and take off going straight through. She takes off and starts overtaking me to my right side before we are even clear of the intersection. Left me sitting in the middle of the road with other traffic going by from before being able to get back to the right. All I wanted to do was to get across and get over on the right side.

Needless to say I got on the phone with the coffee company and filed a complaint.

What does everyone think, is there any end to what kind of stunts drivers will pull?
