So the other day I come up to an intersection, one car in front of me. We were both waiting to turn left, in the turning left lane with a red arrow. The car in front of me slows down, stops at the light, then proceeds into the intersection making a left on a RED ARROW :facepalm ---

damn, good to hear he didn’t hit ya. my fav one (I can’t remember who posted this) was a while back when someone was saying bout how there were 2 left turn lanes and the 3rd lane over was a straight, the guy in that lane turned left cutting off the other 2 lanes and one of the cars in the left lane was a cop, iirc ---

Tell you what, more than once for some unknown reason I thought it was OK to turn at a red arrow. :rofl Happened when I first started driving a bunch of times. ---

I’ve done this twice in the last month at that exact spot when I didnt feel like waiting. Funny that we’ll talk about turning left at an intersection as being dangerous but in other sections of this website people are talking about street racing at 100+mph in and out of traffic. Or those same people will go on a rant about inattentive drivers being dangerous to motorcycle riders. :facepalm [/logic][/mom] ---

I was coming home from work on route 9 in Latham and this idiot cuts off not one, not two, not three, but FOUR (if you count the turning lane) LANES of traffic! Fortunately he cut the cop off too and he got yanked :rofl I was laughing the rest of the way home. ---

That irks me, especially when you try to enter the lanes correctly and someone scoots around you stealing your spot.
