Both of those outcomes are on that idiot.

Otherwise known as the "suicide lane". Lots of dumb asses without a clue using it like lunatics.

So, nothing.
You're welcome to come sit in the passenger seat while I show you how it's done without incident.

Incorrect. You interpreted it that way, but that's your problem.

You definitely implied. If that wasn't your intention then you improperly phrased your statement.

There's nothing safe about accelerating to merge while in the turning lane.

Which could've been avoided by you not trying to teach the other driver a lesson or prove a point to them... your buddy pokes a bear with a stick and the bear mauls your buddy's face, do you blame the bear?

How is it unsafe if there is no other vehicle in the turning lane?

You're either young and dumb or live in some podunk town with no traffic.

I'm not teaching anyone lessons. Another assumption.

Nope, but I don't have sympathy for anyone that rages out because someone wouldn't let them merge from the turning lane.

If I'm behind you and want to turn right, I salute you good sir for getting the frick out of my way so I can go.

And I agree that using the turn lane as an acceleration merge lane is only acceptable in very limited circumstances.

That's rich coming from the douchebag purposefully making the road unsafe for others.

Hopefully from now on you won't experience anyone speeding up in the turning lane to merge. Hopefully they skip the turning lane and pull out right in front of your arse.

The onus of making a safe maneuver is on the person changing lanes, not on someone already occupying a lane.

You seem to be struggling with basic drivers ed.

you are an angry little shite aren't you?

again...if you can't see why accelerating up to traffic speed while LOOKING BEHIND YOU is a bad idea, then you are stupid beyond help and I feel sorry for your mother.

Dude you speed up to block cars from merging into traffic and you're claiming that they're the unsafe ones? You're an idiot. Hope the next time you pull that shite a cop catches you and writes you a reckless operation ticket. I believe that's a $1000 fine.
