Small one today. Most people were remarkably decent drivers today, especially where minor construction temporarily reduced a two-way road to one single lane.
I was waiting at the major intersection to turn onto my street. I'd missed the protected left, so I had just a solid green (meaning oncoming traffic also had a solid green). Cars were coming, so I stopped to wait for a gap before making my turn. One or two cars went through the intersection.
Then came one of those "carrying school children" minivans. The driver actually stopped at the green light for some reason I can't fathom. I didn't dare make my turn, because she didn't gesture to me or anything, so I didn't want to risk her realizing she had a green light as I'm halfway through my turn. Of course, the car behind me honks his displeasure. The lady still didn't go.
Finally I slowly made my turn, keeping a careful eye on her the whole time, just in case. She just sat there as I and the guy behind me both turned and her light turned red.
