WTF lady, who taught you how to drive?

We were on a 2 lane street that turns into 3 lanes at a stop light. The left most lane is for turning left. The middle is for going straight or making a wide right. The far right lane is for right turns only. We were at the stop light with her wanting to make a right turn in the middle lane. I was in the far right. With the light still red and no cars coming the other way we both made a right turn. So instead of staying in the corresponding lane after the turn she comes in my lane and nearly swipes me but luckily I saw her and swerved out of the way.

Some people just shouldn't be allowed to drive.

Just yesterday some old lady in a black cadillac couldn't stay in her own lane and drifted over to mine. Luckily when I honked my horn it didnt give her a heart attack and she was able to steer back into her lane before hitting me

Absolutely, thought I'd say 70. I used to use my grandparents as an example AGAINST this idea because they were fantastic drivers until about 70...but now they're all 78+ and still driving and it scares me to death.

No, but ever since I learned how to drive I knew to stay in the corresponding lane on a turn lane with 2 lanes. And don't tell me you won't be angry if someone hit you because they were, "Oh, I didn't know I was suppose to stay on the outside lane". It's only common sense now.

Perfect driver has nothing to do with it. That driver (A) should have been watching where she was going and (B) should know to turn into her lane in that situation. That means she's either an incompetent driver (accidentally merged into his lane), is ignorant to common traffic laws, or is just a plain moron. Regardless, she needs some schooling in driving properly. keyword she
