Yep, folks that screw up and then act like you're the one that screwed up. I have that occur from time to time.

In Texas, it's completely legal to turn (right or left) into ANY lane in the road that you're turning into. So for instance, if you're turning right onto a road with 3 lanes going each way, you can turn and drift across to the far left lane as part of the turn. We also occasionally have multiple turn lanes. When there are multiple turn lanes, there are usually lines through the intersection to show you that you can only turn into certain lanes.

Years ago, I was turning right with 2 right-turn lanes turning into a road with 2 lanes. I was in the left turn lane and a lady was in an expedition in the right hand turn lane. She turned and drifted into my lane. Fortunately, there was a paved center median with yellow lines that I was able to pull into. I dropped back behind her and pulled back in. I saw that I would have been able to get around her because the left lane had someone quite a way up, so I pulled over and started to accelerate. She gunned it and pulled up to pace the person in the right lane, and paced them until the next light where she was turning left. While sitting at that light, she rolled down her pass side window and started yelling out of her window. I was not bothered in the slightest. I was feeling very relaxed that day.
