    God Dam it! Turn Right at Red light!

    You ever at a red light in the right turning lane and the person, instead of making the right on red, sits there waiting for the green? That happens to me often. I beep and usually they go but on occasion one will just sit there and it's usually when I'm pressed for time. God damn it I get angry!

    i started a thread earlier also complaining about people crossing you when you have an advance green (left turn light)
    i think some pedestrians do not know the limits of vehicles or how vehicles actually move. Corssing the street when its not too busy is fine... but whne theres like 10 cars on each side moving fast on either side and people decide to gun it anyway... i thikn they are quite suicidal.

    Just lay on the horn until they move, if they look back at you, jester to them with your right hand to turn, while yelling. They'll get the hint.

    That's funny that you say that. When I wrote this I was thinking about an incident at Broadway Ave and Sunrise Highway. I wanted to turn right to head westbound and there was this lady just sitting there. I started beeping and she didn't flinch. So I pulled around her and made the turn my self. And then my head exploded I was so pissed. It's usually not this bad. I practice meditation and value emotional self-restraint but I'm on ECA three times a day at 50, 400, 300mgs of ephedra, caffeine, aspirin, respectively. I'm buring hot and I'm on the LI roads so.....watch out!!!!

    I've done that before. People dont turn in the right lane so I'll turn in front of them from the left..

    Right on red is illegal in the city. When I drive out in LI I wait for the green light. You're pissed off at me.

    I wouldn't yell at you. I would be laughing as I drove by seeing you get a ticket for your right turn.

    I've seen that happen on sunrise highway on LI. It was an old man probably a bit demented. He was heading into on coming traffic with these huge glasses you see the old timers where in florida
