What, and get beeped, and/or rear-ended by the loser behind?

Happened again today as I hung back to let the 18-wheeler in the left
lane complete his right turn, two-thirds across my lane, the <expletive
deleted> driver behind me STOOD (well it seemed so) on his horn all the
way through the corner - he got so close, under heavy braking, I am
surprised he didn't hit me. And all this from a standing start 5 cars
back at the traffic lights...

BTW I have learned thru bitter experience what happens if you don't give
18-wheelers the right of way - even when they're in the wrong- and the
<another deleted expletive> didn't even stop as I climbed out of the
wreck.... <counting blessings again!>

they say that Adelaide drivers are the least considerate on the
continent... I hope that doesn't apply to me- I do try!
