The hazards are many.  A car pulling out in front of me is my biggest fear.  I had an idiot jump from a line of cars in the right turn lane into the left turn lane to make a right turn in front of me as I was approaching a T intersection from his left.  He got a driver's window full of my middle finger when I pulled even with him.  One of the tools I use for tools like this is my 136 dB air horn.  I have it and I ain't afraid to use it.  Anything I can use to snap a person's head out of their rectum and make them aware of me gives both of us that much more time to react.
