Of course if they are coming towards you on the move and make the decision to turn spur of the moment, you don't have time for that.
Left turners and inattentive lane crossers are a couple of my biggest fears.
That's good practice Sir. It's probably been mentioned before but I also will use my high beam at intersections and for oncoming traffic who might turn left or for impatient oncoming tailgaters who may try and pass using the left lane . It's a tactic similar to those motorcycle alternating head lamp flashers, although I discovered the tactic myself while driving a Truck. No one tries any cute maneuvers when a big truck coming at them turns on the bright headlights. It works so well that I use it for any vehicle I drive/ride now. I'm glad you're ok. Quick thinking on your part to ditch it.
