Funnily enough, although it got me a bit cross, it didn't really shock me - probably the anticipation that did it. Normally you'd be right, with the ones that come out of the blue.
I'm careful not to encourage people if I can help it - sometimes if you hesitate, you can tip people into taking a chance. I must have slowed a bit to cover the brake, but I can't think it was a factor - it was only a second or two and I was right on top of it when it turned, the driver just couldn't have been scanning properly. Maybe he/she had been watching the left turner ahead of me and not looking beyond it.
It also felt like a fairly deliberate controlled manoeuvre on my part, but it was obviously pretty violent to knock the boss about - her arm hit something and she's wrenched her shoulder a bit.
Still well enough to make the tea, fortunately.
The most frightening thought is I couldn't tell you now how far, if at all, I went on to the other side of the road, so I might not have felt so smart had you been there with your wagon load of graded grains...
