Just an observation - why do so many drivers when turning right into a side road, cut across the white T (as they believe they are turning across an empty junction) - only to realise too late, that a car is approaching from the side road ?

Having then dialled in too much right lock, they then have to wind it off rapidly in order to avoid the other vehicle (now waiting) and then wind it back on, ie swerve around their front and risk a crashing of offside wings.

I guess none of us were taught to drive like this, but there are a few local roads where I see it every day. Is there anything in the HC about this ?
