Why do a lot of drivers struggle when making a right-turn?

Most drivers do not do this, but a significant number of them do: When making a right turn (such as, at an intersection, or into a driveway, or into a gas station) they move slow-as-a-turtle, then come to a complete stop for a moment, and then struggle to get over a bump that is never more than 2 centimeters high, and slowwwly make their move inward.
What is their rationale? Do they think their car is gonna fall apart? Do they think they’re being “safe” (even though the danger they create behind them is 10x the safety created by moving slow)?
Or are they just not thinking at all? Which leads to an additional question: If they’re not thinking at all… why? Shouldn’t every single decision made while driving, be done with mindfulness?
