Audi, the invisible

Twice in one day, I was almost driven over by oversized SUV's
1) Turning right onto a major open access highway (NY 59). Stopped at
light, attempting right on red. Turn signal on. Paying careful attention
to traffic as
a police officer is directly across from me. They (cop and others) make
the left in front of me with their traffic light. A dorF Excessive
pulls to the left of me in the straight lane. Puts on Right turn signal.
WHAT!?!!? Blow horn, though I don't understand how they can't see a
Pearl 200 with it's turn signal and brake lights on.Traffic clears, and
as I begin to go, the Excessive begins to turn RIGHT ON TOP of me. Blow
horn again! They look annoyed. If I only had a Bazooka!
2) (SAME TRIP, just returning). In left lane waiting for light to change.
Chebby Sub-Urban next to me starts turning it's front wheels my way.
Light changes Sub- Urban starts to turn right into the side of my
vehicle. I had no where to go, so the horn goes off again (glad it
started working again, got to get that De-Oxit now!).
Is it me, Audi's or are SUV driver's THAT stupid!?!?!?
BTW - the invisibility of the 200Q payed off the other day, the cop let
me off from speeding probably precisely because the car is such a
sleeper. I'd bet if I were driving a Boxster or Mustang or some such I
would've been nailed.
