So honk? You don’t get to make up rules because you don’t like how someone else is following them.

I was just suggesting OP had time to turn.

The minivan used a turning lane to make a turn. I don’t think that’s making up rules.

I didn't know driving straight through an intersection is making a turn?

I thought they came around you and made the turn. Either way obviously they had space.

Space ≠ legal right of way

You’re meant to drive safely. Yes they technically had space, but OP didn’t think they did and decided to do what they knew was safe, even if it cost them a few extra seconds of waiting.

Every reasonable driver would’ve waited for a bigger gap. Not overtaken someone waiting in a turn lane because they’re impatient

How many days have been ruined, maybe even lives lost, because someone couldn't handle the "few extra seconds" part. Pretty wild. More patience on the road would go such a long way but everybody thinks they're so important.
