Cruising down Trop, doing about 47 in the left lane. Some guy makes a u-turn on an unprotected left. I can tell he's going to do something stupid - the moment just has that kind of feeling.
Sure enough, he starts lurching over into the middle lane. I'm about two hundred feet away when he starts lurching into my lane without looking. So of course I don't stop. If he wants out of the gene pool it's not my problem.
About fifty feet away he spots me and realizes that I'm about to plant a bumper in his driver door. He quickly slams on the brakes and spins over back to the right lane. Then looking much humbled slowly backs up traffic as he inches over into the left turn lane. Schmuck.
U-turns are fine, unprotected u-turns are okay, but don't pull an unprotected u-turn then immediately try to jump into traffic in front of a guy with a 30 mph speed differential.
