Well, I guess that it was windy one day because as I approached an intersection I saw that the traffic light for the left turn lane was completely flipped over, so it was facing the other way. Oh noes!
Now I wasn't in the left turn lane, so I didn't have a problem, but there were other people there, and the poor guy up front wasn't sure when to make his left turn because the thing was flipped. So he just stood there and waited, until the whole line of cars behind him beeped and honked, and then he hesitatingly moved.
I was thinking, if I were him, I wouldn't go at all because if a bunch of strangers were wrong, and I caused a traffic accident, I'd be at fault. I know you can tell when to go by watching traffic patterns but unless I was SURE...I wouldn't.
Then again, if I were the line behind him, I'd be pretty peeved...but I'd understand. I'd probably mosey on over to the right lane and make a U turn.
If you weren't sure it was your time to go, would you take the risk??? Was the front guy sucky or was the line sucky???
I do remember one day when the sunlight was so bright in my eye that I couldn't tell whether it was red or green...but I went anyway when I felt the time was right. But I sweated bullets.
