They did not look around or indicate in any fashion that they intended to turn left. After screeching to a halt and sounding the horn My husband reminded them that they must have a death wish. Two golf carts with passengers gave us the thumbs up as we shakily continued on to our destination. Our angels have bruised wings for sure.
I know that heart-pounding, breath-taking, knees like Jell-O feeling you had after those morons almost made you kill them accidentally.

Now wait for the bicycling fanatics to come on here and say the bike riders "had a right" to the road the same as you, and that you should have been "Sharing the road", because "It's the law".
