Arc of a Driver, Efforttfully

Yes I am riffing on Arc of a Diver (steve winwood).

In one of my friend Jim's more lucid moments, he pointed out with chagrin that drivers seemed to like to signal a right turn, and then arc their car way out leftward... as they make that right turn.  As if somehow simply making the right turn will crush and clip some invisible entity to their right while they turn.

Truly bizarre.

I have seen it. Jim didn't lie.  Somehow people feel safer spending extra time and effort arcing their vehicle outward, way to the left, as they make that right turn.

Or, as I like to say, they are mildly retarded drivers.
