ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAS THE RIGHT-OF-WAY!

[Food Lady]

I am so sick of this!!! I am at a light waiting to turn left. It goes through a cycle and we have to wait longer. Finally it turns green & there's no arrow, so I wait for oncoming traffic. Grandma behind me is throwing hands up in air and motioning for me to go, already. Sure, I want an accident today, lady.

Some people are just.......special. Too special to drive. Maybe she thinks she can make it.

The only time I have the right of way and angrily wave at people to go ahead is when I'm at a 4 way stop and someone barely makes the stop or doesn't seem to be paying any attention. Then I refuse to go until they do.

My biggest problem with unprotected left turns are the idiots who get so impatient that they just blast right through. There is one intersection where constantly, some brave idiot leading the parade of left turners will just blast off when the light goes green (no arrow), and the line just keeps going and going and everyone trying to go straight or right are just like waaaahhh?

I once saw someone go through a green arrow when he still had the red straight.

If my car were newer I might have been able to gun it through, but had I done that today my car would've blown up. I was thinking of the safety of everyone involved, including her. You're WELCOME.

I only honk at people when they have a clearly marked right of way (green light straight, green arrow turn) and are hesitating or not going.

And the problem is? Maybe you mistyped or something, but red-light-green-arrow means that you can turn left, and you have the right of way because of the green arrow, but you have to wait to go straight.

Only the people turning had their light green, the people going straight had their light still red. I had the right of way, he didn't yet.

You mean when the turn arrow went green, he went straight through the red?

[Zellie Crescent]

Yep, the genius thought that the green arrow was for everybody.

Happens all the time at an intersection in my area. Biggest problem is the turning light is a two lane turning light, so it's twice the people going with the one idiot going straight.

My father got his driver's license when his father took him to Sears (I think) and told the clerk to give his son a driver's license. No tests or anything. Of course, this was back in the early 1930s.

My roommate and I walked across the street for ice cream one night last week; there is a light at the entrance to our complex, so we waited until we had the green (naturally). When the light in the other direction turned red, the first car stopped, but some jackass in a sports car decided to roar around that car on the right and blow through the red. Glad we hadn't started crossing yet.

I get people honking at me on occasion because I am more cautious at turning across traffic. My deal is, I'm so used to driving an 18-wheeler, I tend to overestimate how much time I'm going to take to turn. Better to err on the side of caution, though, I say. At least I've gotten a little better at pushing through these types of turns...

I used to gun it through turns, but that was before my car started falling apart.
