Driver Rage, Traffic Rage, Asshole Drivers....
Assholes who use your dedicated turn lane...to make their left turn.
I hate people who sit with the front of their car about where the back of your car is right at the form one lane point. Then they dont slow down to merge behind you and honk you like they were somehow supposed to merge in front of you
The center lane is not a merge lane.
>>702043291
Yep.
Sucks but it's true.
>>702042853
Yep...always a few that wait until last second to get over....then they force their way over or get pissed for some reason or other when nobody will let them over.
Also when im driving a truck people always try to zoom in front of you at the merge point. I have to swerve sometimes. Like im not going to hit you, im going to fucking crush your tiny car
>>702043291
>tfw blue car
>>702043291
why the fuck not
>>702042853
>>702043714
No, this logic doesn't make sense. If one was meant to merge a mile beforehand, the lane would have ended a mile earlier. Why should someone expect to merge into another lane when there's still an lane in front of them?
>>702042853
>>702043714
Maybe they didn't have room or no one let them in until they got close to the end of the merge.
you guys are pussies. enjoy waiting longer in traffic

It's called zipper merging, you ignorant assholes. Learn to fucking drive.
>>702044032
yeah people be road raging over dumb stuff.
>>702044032
Its long to try to keep the flow of traffic moving. If you get to the end and have to stop and wait to merge you break the flow rather then merging while still moving
>>702043291
Yes... I need to ask as well why the fuck not?
>>702043737
Usually some asshole on his cell phone.....or one of those shitboxes with a "baby on board" sticker. Those tend to be annoying drivers. Too slow, overly cautious, drives 58-60mph in left lane with 60-65mph speed limit....and won't get the fuck out of the way.
>>702044032
that's only forcing him to merge, by doing what he's doing, it makes the traffic in behind the merge worse for longer
>>702044288
No, drivers who merge directly where the lane ends don't break the flow. The drivers who don't let them in break the flow.
>>702043291
yes
it literally is
>pull up behind car in the left lane at red light
>cars pile in behind me.
>cars to the right now
>light goes green
>car in front of me puts on blinker to turn left
>now I'm stuck until he makes it through
fucking cunt
>>702044597
Its a bit of both dude
Had just about enough of this "watch for motorcycles" shit. No. If you decide to drive a pointlessly small vehicle that is more difficult to see, the onus is on you to be more alert. Plus, the majority of motorcyclists I see blatantly and dangerously shirk the rules of the road, including weaving in and out of traffic, illegally changing lanes, using the shoulder, etc. Seriously, fuck off.
>>702043291
>tfw blue car freaks the fuck out when I waiting for him to pass
>>702042853
I can't help but notice all the cars in the merged lane piling up. They're providing no space and are themselves slowing down traffic.
People who don't understand that both of these cars can turn at the same time.

>>702044667
Suicide lane is suppose to be for pulling away from the main road and turning left. You're not suppose to driving inside them. It is called a suicide lane so go kys if you want.
>>702045109
if the left side finally clears it makes sense to get to and drive in center until right side clears too. otherwise you could be waiting forever.
>>702044667
No, it literally is not.
It is the center turn lane, intended to be used by vehicles in both directions of travel to use for a brief time to decrease speed while not impeding the flow of traffic in their direction and making left turns.
When entering a street, your legal duty as a driver is to gain speed (not decrease) to match that of the current traffic in the direction you are intending to drive in the lanes only going in that direction.
>>702045058
When I'm the right turning car in that situation I never go because I know some fuck head who can't stay in his lane will plow into me. And it'll be my fault if I'm going right on red since he'll have right of way.
>>702045058
and people don't go in their corresponding lanes. The yellow car will sometimes go in the blue lane because they don't feel like changing lanes after making the left. How long have you fucking drove for? It's retarded to trust other drivers.
>>702045254
That's your choice. If they make a wide turn it's his fault.
>>702042853
Shit that pisses me off when I drive
>if I'm going the speed limit or faster on the left lane then I'm in the right. Asshole always get behind me and flash their high beams
If you do this to me I will keep you behind me and maybe even go slower
>is it not enough for you to cut me off you couldn't at least use your turn signal.
>>702045254
Why do fuck heads think changing lanes is ok in the middle of an intersection while turning? How dumb can they be?
>>702045234
Your choice. No one can really stop you. It's just dangerous to do so.
my fav is when there are 2 turn lanes and the guy next to you drifts into yours and almost kills you and doesnt even realize it
>>702045254
wouldn't be your fault. The guy turning left, if he swings out into the right lane then he's changing lanes during a turn at an intersection, which is an illegal maneuver.
>>702045254
That's how I am when I'm in that situation. I also live and work in an area where most of the other cars are WAY nicer then mine and my insurance won't cover shit if I hit one of them. I don't understand why assholes that drive nice cars think they get the right away no matter what.
>>702045058
this is how i got into my last accident, i had a green light turning left and the guy across the street was going right on red. he ended up going across all 3 lanes of traffic and hitting me in the far left lane. florida no fault law left me paying for my own shit.
>>702045472
I know! In drivers ed I was taught to never ever change lanes in an intersection.
>>702045058
Yes this turn is completely doable.
If I'm the yellow car, I'm not going to trust that the blue guy will stay in his lane
>>702045682
doesnt make sense. if you have green light, and they have red, you 100% have the right of way.
>>702045517
It literally isn't. There is no reason anyone should be interfering with anyone in that lane no matter which direction their car is facing.
>>702042853
Actually everyone that merged a mile back is causing the traffic to be worse, the most efficient way to get people through is for that merge lane to stay full until the end and then zipper the merging cars in.
>>702045682
no witnesses pull over, no citations given. nobodies fault. fucking dumb huh?
>>702045712
Why? Do you have this level of distrust all the time or just in this situation? This is a very common way for people to negotiate situations like this in most large cities because you're holding up traffic otherwise. In rural areas full of hayseed jackfucks, people sit there yield like dumbasses.
>>702042853
>>702043714
wrong, when two lanes merge the most efficient thing to do is to for both lanes to zipper at the merge point and no sooner. merging sooner slows the entire process.
>>702045880
>no witnesses pull over, no citations given. nobodies fault. fucking dumb huh?
>>702045880
>doesnt make sense. if you have green light, and they have red, you 100% have the right of way.
RIght of way does not include swinging out into the right lane, changing lanes in an intersection. You make the turn, stay in your lane, and then once you clear the intersection you can then change lanes if it's clear.
>>702044788
Oh I hate that shit. The 10 people behind you are pissed also. Usually someone way back will get tired of waiting and move back to regular lane nearly causing an accident or actually getting hit. Seen that a few times.
>>702045887
Dude you're dip shit retarded. Look up suicide lane. I can't argue with someone who's uneducated.
>>702045457
This is illegal in Indiana and several other states. The left lane is the PASSING lane. If you are not passing, move the fuck over. What you're doing is more dangerous than speeding.
Probably one of the most basic complaints, and people would probably assume I'm going too slow, but why the fuck do people insist on tailgating? What do you gain, except a higher likelihood to rear end me? Especially if there's only one lane, and there's traffic. You're not going anywhere quicker by riding my ass.
>>702045981
Suburban driving, I've had to take evasive maneuvers 3 times dealing with this situation. Makes me inclined to not exactly trust people's decisions.
People sitting in the left turn lane and suddenly pull out to the right without even signaling when I'm coming down at 50 mph discourages my trust as well
>>702046029
The zipper merge efficiency assumes there is ample space to merge at the merge point.
However, that is rarely the case. This is why drivers should be looking down the horizon assessing car spacing and opportunity to make a safe and efficient merge at a break in the traffic.
If that break will be at the merge point or where you are first acknowledging the necessity of merging or somewhere in between - depends upon the traffic flow and volume of vehicles in the lanes next to you.
Don't be a dick and try to wedge your way in, no matter where it is. You'll only cause traffic back up.
>>702045457
Nobody gives a shit about your state.
Not everything you read on reddit is true. Speeding is much more dangerous than following the speed limit in the "fast lane"
>>702045596
This is not the case - If you have a protected left turn from a single turn lane into two lanes and there are no markings within the intersection (as is shown in the illustration), you are permitted to turn into either of the two lanes according to the uniform vehicle code.
>>702043291
Yeah the bigger asshole here is the blue car not getting over to let him in.
>>702042853
Don't be a twat, use all available space within your lane. The merge point causes fluctuations in overall speed. Wouldn't you want to extend that point as far out as possible rather than cram everybody into the lane and leave a perfectly good lane empty?
>>702045880
>right of way
[citation needed]
That's why it isn't legal to make a wide turn.
>>702046521
The picture assumes that the car turning left does not have left arrow, and both cars are simply looking at a green light.
Try driving in Ottawa.
The biggest load of fuck witts you'll ever experience.
Overtaking in the right lane, bicycles on slim roads where you cannot pass a cyclist (new law in Ontario) , driving under the speed limit, merging into 100km/hr traffic with no hesitation at 20km/hr, cutting you off for no apparent reason but to have a better view.
>>702046651
if youre in a single turn lane, and the road turns into multiple lanes, and you have a green signal, and somebody has a red signal, who do you think has the right of way? i cant believe you're arguing this?
>>702045457
anon, that is 100% retarded of you to stay in the fucking left lane and holding people back. If you're gonna go slow/follow speed limit, move to the fucking right lane.
>>702046468
merging early will cause them to be passed, by cars who did not have an opening, from the lane they left, this slows the lane they entered unduly when they eventually merge in what is now out of order. optimally everyone zippers at the merge, no sooner.
>>702046194
On the contrary. The idiot that decides that the direction my car is facing should determine his course of action is the retard. It's still a car.
Also you bcause I can only assume you don't know how to utilize space for everyone's benefit.
>>702043291
WRONG
it's very simple...
>>702042853
I just drive right over the line. Is it illegal? Yes. Is it petty as fuck? Yes. Do I care? Not at all. If you're going to be a piece of shit that merges last minute, well you'll have to do it behind my ass 200 yards back. The passenger side of my car is already fucked, you can't do much worse.
>>702046735
then the one turning right has full right of way. turning left at green light means yield unless its an arrow.
>>702045472
i do this all the time
>>702045973
shit luck. sorry to hear that.
>>702045058
It's legal for the guy turning left to turn into either lane though, right? Unless there are solid lines painted to stay in a specific lane.
Guy turning right is supposed to turn right into furthest right lane.
>>702046605
>perfectly good lane that ends
Bicyclists who insist on driving in the road when THERE'S A FUCKING BIKE PATH.
>tailgaters
>folks who force you to tailgate
Nigger wait a couple seconds and then merge. Fuck you I'm driving too.
>>702046735
In that case, we have a similar situation - The blue car is turning from a single right turn lane onto a road with two lanes, so they are permitted to turn into either of the two lanes. The yellow car must yield in that situation.
>>702045472
Its illegal in the state I'm at
>>702045058
Why is this concept so difficult for so many?...
>>702046819
Nigger, you should try driving Orlando.
At the very minimum, it's worse because we have like 6 times more people trying to commute.
>>702046913
if i waited in line why let some fuckhead who passed everyone merge in front of me? no way. im tailgating car in front of me. i merged earlier and waited my turn, you should too.
>>702046964
You're an idiot.
Like already stated, it is more efficient to merge AT the merge point.
>>702044088
Hey look, ONE other person understands. The point of the zipper, especially in construction zones, is to have all merging occur at the end of the lane so that both lanes remain full. When actually done properly, this results in the lane that is not ending not getting backed up for miles.
>>702047040
no. left turn, you end up in the left-most lane, right turn you end up in the right-most lane.
>>702046962
I've never seen anyone use the left lane for passing only. That's stupid. The general rule is that faster traffic stays in the left lane and slower traffic in the right. If people kept the left lane empty and only got over there to pass the car in front of them, the already shitty traffic jams would be even worse.
>>702046361
That's three lawsuits and three times they could have been shafted by traffic fines you missed out on.
>wide turn
>>702047040
No, it is not.
When you make a left hand turn with a single left turn lane, you are to take the left most lane available when completing the turn. Anything else is in violation of the law.
>>702046962

>>702047266
>no. left turn, you end up in the left-most lane, right turn you end up in the right-most lane.
This. I don't know what these other faggots are talking about. There's no picking lanes when you turn. You stay in your fucking lane, then you change lanes if you need to.
God damn captcha, took me 6 tries of IDing store fronts, mountains, trees, bodies of water, and street signs to post this fucking reply.
>>702047105
No.
If you are turning right from the rightmost lane, you are to remain in the right-most lane while completing the turn.
Only after completing the turn in the right lane can you begin the process of changing lanes.

>>702046468
The dicks causing traffic are the ones not leaving ample space between them and the car in front of them. You aren't stuck in traffic, you are traffic. The goal of everyone should be utility based to increase the average speed of the pack. This is obtained through gradual acceleration and limited braking. Limited braking is obtained through leaving ample space. I can drive my hour and a half commute with only engine braking.
>>702047435
I bet you don't have to deal with insane insurance prices because of all the illegal spics with no license and no insurance.
>>702046941
There are situations where accident can easily happen in the center lane. Say a car turns left into the main road and uses the center lane to merge. At the same time, what if someone uses the center lane to bypass cars in the center lane, due to traffic in main lanes?
By utilizing space for everyone's benefit (gaining only mere seconds at best) you cause a higher risk of accident which may result in possibly hours of delay depending on the situation.
People who use their horns as a "gotcha" signal to let people know you saw them doing something you disapprove of, instead of using it to alert people who you think may not be aware to your presence.
Also old people.
Also asians.
Also women texting.
people who leave their handicap placard hanging from their rearview mirror while theyre driving. they're almost always the ones going at least 5 under the speed limit and making left turns into the right-most lane. I always watch out when I see those faggots.
>>702046486
But it isn't the fast lane, it is the passing lane. If you aren't passing somebody, get the fuck over.

I don't always right like a responsible rider but still it breaks my heart when I hear of a fellow rider getting hurt or killed due to someone else's negligence.
>>702047686
No, I live in the United States, specifically the south where I presume you also live because it is filled with dumb fuck drivers that do not know how to drive similar to you. There is a difference between local driving, interstate driving, and high volume traffic driving. You treating them all the same is the exact reason we have fucking accidents, angry drivers, and horrible traffic.
>>702047246
>When actually done properly, this results in the lane that is not ending not getting backed up for miles.
Therein lies the rub. If we all used self-driving vehicles this would work.
So, in theory this process works. And the lucky few times in reality it does, as well.
Problem is, in reality - the zipper merge only increases driver aggression and causes more problems than it should solve. Not because of the science behind it -- because of people
And this is why you should always be looking down the horizon and finding a break in the traffic that you can effectively merge with the least amount of impeding the traffic flow.

This doesn't apply to heavy traffic. It also doesn't apply if there is no one trying to pass you.
As an example, I commute to/from Chicago daily at the midrange of traffic flow (about 80 mph). For the most part, I travel the left lane because I am passing the cars doing 75 mph. However, if I see a faster car approaching behind me, I take the first reasonable opportunity to move over a lane to allow them to pass. I remain in that lane until I approach another vehicle that is moving slower than I am, at which point I move to the left lane to pass them.
This is not rocket science.
People who merge 1/2 mile to soon are fucking idiots. That lane is there for a reason. Learn to merge properly and traffic would move faster.
OP is a fucking pansy ass faggot.
>>702046486
Most states have laws about the left lane, it's just not usually enforced. Look along the major highways, odds are you'll see signs saying either "Slower traffic keep right" or "Keep right except to pass."
>>702047268
The left lane, by law, is for passing purposes. Once you have passed the traffic to your right and have an opportunity, you are legally bound to return to the slower lane to the right.

Been on interstates all over the south.

And this faggot thinks that if you take 8 lanes packed full of cars and put them into 1 lane it's going to flow smoothly. Get the fuck outta here dipshit.

>>702043291
Yes it is, you stupid fucking cunt. It's called the "suicide lane" for a reason. Its meant for turning either direction or merging either direction.
A lot of morons in here who clearly did not pay attention in driving school.
Don't get me started on 2-way vs 4-way stops...
>>702048579
these idiots ITT think that those 4 left lanes are all wrong and should be packed into the far right lane somehow.
This is why we need driverless cars.
>>702047686
Cocksucker, if idiots only use the left lane for passing rather than driving miss Daisy, then you can also use it to pass. Then get back over to the right. You hit a slow patch, you get over, pass, her back over to the right.

Then they fucked up. It isn't a passing lane.

When you're between two terribly timed lights it's a lot more than that. Imagine being in front of a bunch of people trying to turn right when that lane is empty.
What the fuck is wrong with you?

New Jersey here. Pic related gives me anxiety.
>>702045058
in some states you are required to turn into the nearest through lane
and in those states you are right
but in other states you may turn into any through lane
and in those states the blue car has the right of way unless the yellow car has a green light and the blue car has a red light
Road rage. Amazing. OP people who panic merge are equally annoying in traffic. That's all space - [LEGAL SPACE] to manage to merge into traffic with. Both they who floor it down to the end ASAP, and those who panic merge desperately because they're scared faggots deserve to die from road rage.
People that slow down to 10 mph before they get into the right turn lane to enter a parking lot. Or people that come to a full stop before turning in if there is no right turn lane
And similarly people that slowly merge and slow down while entering the suicide lane for a left...they usually still have the ass of their car im the travel lane until 1/2 second before they stop.
Let off the gas while safely and quickly getting in a turn lane before braking.
>>702048105
I live in the banking capital of the United States where my 25 mile commute takes me on average 1.5 hours.
What has always bothered me since I was a kid is when you have a bunch of cars at a red light and it turns green, traffic slowly progresses one by one as a car starts moving, then the car behind it starts moving, then the car behind it starts moving, etc. Why can't everyone just agree to slowly start moving at the same time? I can just imagine when driverless cars become the norm. 50 cars at once will all start moving at the same time and it will be orgasmic.

Fucking roundabouts with two lanes. Where I live, you can never trust the driver in the lane next to you not to merge into your lane randomly. The worst part is that they don't even realize it.
Fucking Texas, everyone is on their phones, and take 15secs to realize that the traffic light has switched to green!!!!!!
>>702048072
one: it's illegal to park where both red cars are parked
two: you are on that street first and foremost
three: if the white vehicle was going through the intersection, because the car is parked on your side, you would have to yield
four: the white car should realize he is supposed to wait until you get pass the parked car

FUCK me dude jersey drivers are the fucking worst
>>702048394
Not knowing how to distinguish between high volume traffic, normal interstate driving (what the original photo was referring to), and really all traffic conditions is the issue at hand. You are right, no one drives like this in the south because they are all fucking idiots. It is somehow one of the worst things about living here, and this place is so terrible on its own. Obviously throwing high volume rush hour that requires an 8 lane segment to allow for merges and exits in metro areas and putting them into a 2 lane and 4 lane road situation will not work. That is not what anyone is implying. Thank you again for making traffic worse.
>>702046250
Maybe in Buttfuck, Indiana, but where I'm from the left lane is still a driving lane faggot
>>702046898
I'm going the speed limit or faster, nigger. Did massa teach you how to read you fucking nignog? The right lane is for transfer trailers and slow vehicles.
>>702045457
The worst part is when a God damn sheriff gets behind me and stays tailgating me. I get when they have to run my plates but they just stay back there when they could just as easily go around. Instead they wait until I merge off and rev their shit engines.
>>702045366
most likely the yellow car will swing out int the blue lane and then change lanes back to his own...without using any signals
>>702043291
There's is nothing illegal about using the center lane like that.

>You hit a slow patch, you get over, pass, her back over to the right.
How about I'm moving faster than everyone so I'm just going to stay my ass in the left lane until someone moving faster than me comes up behind me, then I'll get over and let him pass. If I did this "passing lane" bullshit like you stupid fucks think is the norm, I'd be changing lanes every fucking 10 seconds. No, I'm moving fast, so I'm staying left. This is how it's done.
Listen to me you fucking faggot, the whole point of the merge lane is so you can speed up to highway speeds to merge at the end. It's not meant once you come around the bend you merge. That's why the lane is long and then slowly disappears. Don't be a fuckin' animal, you faggot. ALTHOUGH, in your original thread there's clearly traffic and it is a construction zone so he's clearly taking advantage. He's an asshole.
But to make a blanket statement about the fuckin' merging which is based on an EXCEPTION proves that you're not only a faggot, but probably a nigger too. Drop fuckin' dead of cancer. Your mother too. You disgusting fuckin' faggot piece of shit.

>>702048736
not your fault that person has to go out of their lane to drive. its their responsibility to yield before swerving into oncoming traffic. dont be sorry,
>>702045058
I agree with you anon, but we can't solve that problem until people learn to keep to their own lane during a turn, then change lanes after. Most cunts will go wide, right into either lane. Fuck them. I'll wait and see if the guy across the way knows how to drive first.
>>702049172
right on
>>702048211
THIS.
Also - if you aren't taking the next couple exits while going through city on the interstate, get in the middle lane to allow merging and exiting traffic to not have to dodge your sorry ass.
Once you are about 2 exits away from your exit, merge into the right-most lane and get the hell off the interstate.
Also, if you don't know how to merge into traffic on the interstate - stay on the city streets. I don't need your "OMG - I gotta break" ass on the interstate during rush hour.

>>702047268
It is literally illegal in some states to drive in the left lane when not passing. You will get pulled over for being an ignorant twat.
>>702048289
Do you not have double yellow no stopping markers near junctions in the USA? This shouldn't be a problem if the road is designed correctly
>>702042853
There's this merge system in civilized countries that well call zipper merging. It requires a minimal amount of space and it's perfectly fair no matter what lane you were initially on.
You should look it up, America.
Try driving in fucking Connecticut. It's one of the shittiest states and home of the shittiest drivers and pedestrians. Here's a list of the things I saw in the past couple of days.
Two lane road, stopped at a light. Light turns green, I start going forward. The guy to the left of me decides he needs to turn right RIGHT AWAY and immediately turns in front of me, almost crashing into me. He honks his horn. How unreasonable of me!
Pedestrian just walking in the middle of the road like it's a sidewalk. Refuses to move. You're not a fucking car
Idiot riding right in truck's blind spot. Truck tries to get into the left hand lane, the idiot swerves into oncoming traffic.
I'm in the passing lane near sort of a blind curve. As I'm driving, I notice that there is a car just stopped in the middle of the road near a plaza. I make the realization just in time and slam on my brakes as someone makes a left turn out of the plaza. what the FUCK
>>702049565
yeah? bet that socialized healthcare is worth it tho
>>702049207
I feel like a fucking asshole for always going 5 over.
Then there's the speed traps, these faggots in my city know EXACTLY where it reads you speed.
They'll fucking slow down for that camera and then speed off 15 over again until they're out of sight.
km/h
>>702049160
>>702049261
Also probably outdated for Colorado as well. Provided there's only 1 turn lane, drivers can turn into any lane.
>>702048394
You are a special kind of stupid.
>>702048502
And he should reach the turn faster so you let him go first by slowing down in the middle if you can
>>702048291
Wide turns are illegal and yielding to traffic that isn't using that lane holds everyone up.
You lose. gg
Unless you're at a 4way stop whomever arrived at an intersection first doesn't matter. If you're turning left you don't have the right of way until you're the only one using the intersection.
>>702049482
You're not supposed to merge in the middle of the roundabout, anyway. You pick a lane and you stay in it.
>>702049658
nope. not in residential areas anyway. in metropolitan areas usually a few car lengths near the intersection are marked for no parking.
>>702049565
Then it just becomes a target practice lane.
>>702043291
its legal in Az here so long as you dont use it to get up to merging speed. have to be at a stop and wait for an opening. The suicide lane here is a turn lane like that but during certain times as in pic related.
>>702049513
Hope you get into a serious car accident where you kill fucking children and bear that for the rest of your life, faggot.
>>702049658
its illegal to park within a certain distance of an intersection or stop sign controlled intersection in most states

The 400 and 401 are hilariously brutal to drive on. I've stopped using the 400 to get to the other side of the city at this point, shitty side routes are far better.

>>702049652
as opposed to figuratively illegal?
Been driving 20 years. Been all over the country. Driven in other countries. Never once have I seen a barren left lane. Always faster traffic in that lane, slower traffic in the right. Always.
>>702045058
What if both drivers have a green light? Does the person who's turning left have to yield to the person turning right? Or is it reasonable to assume that the person turning right should turn into the right lane, and the person turning left into the left lane?
To put it reasonably -
Say I am yellow car. Light is green on both ends, but it's about to change and blue car is going slow as fuck approaching the turn. Is it legal for me to go ahead as long as I turn into the left lane?
>>702049574
I'm out in the north burbs and don't have to go too near the city but when I do hoooooo fuck. The junction can suck my dick. 90 out by Schaumburg is a real treat now too, if you haven't been. Lol
>>702043714
This is retarded. Both lanes should be occupied until the merge point. Merging too early just wastes everyone's time. This is actually math, and most places will actually advise travelers to occupy both lanes until the merge point.
>>702042853
He literally drives like you should.

Red-green color deficient here.
Treat it as a stop until I can properly see the color.
I haven't seen that type of light before. Cause it looks yellow?
We got flashing green, green and red. That's it.
>>702042853
If you are the first car at a red light, you are now a top fuel dragster at the starting line.
You aren't granny, you aren't Johnny feather foot, you are the first car and every goddamn car behind you is waiting.
You'd better chirp the tires in your shitty van because I have fucking places to be.
Also, of you are second at a light, there is a speed between fully stopped and accelerating your car at full throttle. Fucking go when the guy in front of you goes.
>>702043065
Jesus fucking Christ. Who's from 419?
>>702049543
If it's flashing it means left turn yield to oncoming traffic.
>>702048767
It's an unrealistic scenario in this case, numbskull.
On a highway with 2 lanes in either direction, get the fuck to the right unless you're passing a slowfag or two, then get the fuck back to the right immediately after, allowing the gottagofast fags behind you to pass you. Fuck you're either autistic or a hindu in a silver civic trying to get to temple, which is it?

Sitting in turn lane to make a left into a shopping center. Oncoming traffic super backed up from light. Drive in closest lane to me holds up before the shopping center entrance to let me in cuz he's not going anywhere anyways. Driver in far lane pulls up all the way, blocking the entrance for probably 3 minutes until enough traffic can get across that light behind me. Gives me a look and wags her finger and shakes her head at me like "it's not your right of way"
>>702044914
They are usu all the ones driving like assholes too!
>>702049818
If that were the case then a left turning car would never get a chance until the oncoming lane clears. If you sped up to the intersection and expected to continue forward when I was clearly pulling up before you then you deserve to wait.
>>702050102
>allowing the gottagofast fags behind you to pass you
What you don't understand is that I'm a gottagofastfag, hence why I'm in the left fucking lane. I'm in not a gottagofastfag that day, then I'm in the right lane. If I'm a gottagofastfag that day but there's a gottagofasterfag coming up behind me, I get out of his way.
