Yes, that. Right-turning drivers know that no car can (legally) come from that side, and few give an honest look in that direction. They're only thinking about cars. If you don't block out the sun, they don't see you.

I care about my rights, but I also want to live one more day. If they stick it to me; they'll know I was p.o.'d, but I won't give the message by stepping out in front of them.
