My job entails driving tractors and trailers, on numerous occasions whilst turning left vehicles mistake my indicator for a signal to pass. This would not be a problem however I have to use both sides of the road to turn in narrow gateways.i have even had cars passing on the inside. Where do I stand if there's a collision

Sitting and allowing cars to pass is an option however some Muppets will just sit behind me and wait. Sitting on the white line would not work as I need both lanes to make my turn .a tractor in the countryside indicating before a gateway would surely tell 99% of drivers what's going on however there's always a few.

I don't really want to spend longer than necessary on the wrong side of the road, hand signals with a trailer behind me ,I would need five foot long arms.

Sometimes it's a little tempting to give the idiots a squeeze just so they realize what they've done.
