I also think you were asking for that one.

Hence the statement in the middle of my post about different rules and opinions. People say that "I do this" or "I do that", but the fact remains that under local rules I am required to clearly give x seconds and y metres warning and she was required to stay behind the line until such time as either I passed or turned regardless of what she "thinks" I am doing.
The rules remove the confusion. 99.999% of drivers get it right, but
this one got it wrong and gave attitude about it <-- the point.
The only fail is if I am not on the lookout for this type of situation.
