Heck, I almost got ran off the road by a minivan this weekend. Double left turn lane, I was on the right, and the driver decided halfway through the turn that he'd rather have my lane. He would have hit me in the driver's side front fender had I not swerved.
Funny thing was, the guy was coming from the same wedding as I and going to the same reception. We were essentially leading the pack of cares between venues.
It took a good deal of will power not to confront the jerk at the reception. A few of the other guests did make a few comments to me though. (Mostly along the lines of "Wow, nice driving" or "You're lucky you were driving that thing and could get out of the way in time".) I'm convinced that had I had my F150 instead, I wouldn't have been able to swerve in time due to the slower steering response.
