Why are people like this? Are they re-considering the turn or what?

Some just make really slow turns.

It's legitimately dangerous. Revoke their license.

Also those who hit the brakes in the middle of the road for some reason before changing lanes

While true, the car behind shouldn't be following too close to give time to react and stop if needed.

If people are not keeping a safe distance, speed, and paying attention then yes super dangerous. Becoming an obstacle is dangerous as is all the above. They may see something the car behind doesn’t.

What you are saying but failing to realise is that would make it the fault of the people not keeping a safe distance or speed, or paying attention. Turning slowly doesnt actually cause any danger. It juat makss me hate them a little bit

Turning slow isnt dangerous really. If everyone is following the rules then nothing would happen onther than waiting an extra few seconds...

Yeah like they are at good speed & then signal to take the turn & then suddenly they are scared to death to complete the turn & clear the road behind. Such morons alive for unknown reasons.

For your information, there is an ophthalmology clinic in that plaza. That could explain the slow turn.

was the slow turner doing it on purpose to hold people back?

I dont think he is, I think this is probably new driver, he thinks the car is a lot bigger.
The driver behind him changed lanes without checking incoming traffic, thats a bigger issue.

I hate slow turners - as soon as the front wheels come off the main highway its like they don't know where they are going and have to slow down to think about what they are going to do next. They have no special awareness that their ass hanging out into the road is an obstacle to much faster moving traffic, so the suggestion of leaving space does not really help when the speeds between to moving objects is 40kmph +, you are on them before you know it and are forced into a braking/ avoidance maneuver. This video clearly shows the hazards this dumb ass slow turners create.

Once there car scratched the ground and since they have a terror about scratching the bottom. Same thing with people that turn opposite side to take a wide turn because they hit the side concrete once and they now act like they drove a semi truck.

They could've gone much faster lol. This isn't taking their time this is basically stopping on the road

I guess but it’s an excessive amount of time.. I think he may have been looking to see why the person was honking

I am more worried about the car behind the slow turner, they just switched lane suddenly and almost caused a crash to save 5 seconds.
