Agreed. My first car, a 1976 German V6 Mercury Capri was killed by an old man in coke bottle glasses turning left through a "Keep Clear" section on a busy street. He saw all the cars stopped and thought he could go without pausing, except my lane was clear in front of me for a hundred yards...loved that car. I got the ticket, went to traffic school, and the CHP officer teaching said, "sorry, you got screwed".
Second was Carol turning left into the shopping center. Clear day, no traffic in front of me, or behind me. Also old, and in a hurry to pick up her dog from the groomers. She just went, "Oh, I didn't see you". That was the Benz that was totaled.
Ain't no safety features going to protect us from bad drivers and left turns.
