We have had many, many stories in this particular section regarding this kind of suckitude, but my experience the other morning was the absolute worst I have ever experienced of this (even though this particular foolery and idiocy happens to me almost on a daily basis, this is the worst I EVER experienced).
Simple concept....unprotected left turn, light green....you must yield to all oncoming traffic going straight or turning right. You DO NOT have the right of way.
(To anyone who is unclear or questioning me right now, I am talking about intersections with no green arrow, just a single green light, where it is just plain green in both directions....so people turning left HAVE to wait for those turning right or going straight....left has right of way last.)
There are many intersections like this in the city I live in, I'm not sure why. Anywho, this intersection isn't far from my home, it's just that if I get Subway, I take that intersection and to the right to get back on the main road because a few blocks down there is a 4 way stop, so I am not stuck at a regular stop sign by the Subway waiting for several minutes on end to be able to turn left.
Anyway, so I am approaching the intersection where I will be turning right. The light is now red, I am behind a few people going straight.......I put my blinker on and get in the right turn lane.
The light turns green. I almost shat myself, because I was just about to go....
Every single fucking moron in the opposing left lane started turning LEFT! Yes, even with all the people next to me about to go straight, at this UNPROTECTED left turn, these opposing fucking morons are just turning left anyway!
I suppose it would have been silly for anyone going straight to move forward or try to prove a point when all these idiots are just plowing through...but my gosh....REALLY? ALL OF THEM!
