Protocol 6 needs an update, or maybe the bit about the eyes always moving covers it. I know of at least 2 people very close to me, and feel like there's a third, where they were making a right turn as the second person. They saw the person in front let off of the brakes and start to move, and then promptly rear-ended them, because the person in front changed their mind and stopped.

I've seen too many times in this situation where the person in front has decision making issues, so they'll "start to go" several times before they actually go. I try to NOT anticipate by looking left if I'll be able to follow. I watch the car in front and make sure they are gone before I check to see if I can go. In some cases, this means that I have to wait for another opening, but it's better than rear-ending them.

And it's even easier to do in this sort of layout because you're not able to see them with your peripheral vision if you're looking over your shoulder at the oncoming traffic.
