I have seen this happen to my friend's Sky. He was in a left/straight lane, going left, and a civic nailed him, going straight in a left only lane. Wasn't much damage, but still if the civic had a running start, he could have been in the hospital! I've dodged these by turning straight at the last second and the other guy just cut in front when the curb appeared. I miss a turn, sure, but at least I don't have to drive a rental for a few weeks.

This guy *knows* what he did if he gunned it while ignoring you. If you weren't so deep in the turn I think I would have just gone straight and let him pass, for as often I get to use that move. You did what was best and glad you weren't clipped. Our Avalanche didn't fair so well. I hate the gas pedal nannies on that model.

If only the question wasn't rhetorical. I could think of many reasons.
