People who stop on a yellow light

**cherrydrpepper** · 10-13-2012, 07:39 PM

These freakin jabronis.. just had to share. I get behind this van that says some crap about jesus loves you strewn down the back in big letters. We're coming up on that one light in town that literally takes 5 minutes or more to cycle. You all know this light, every town has one, and this is that light. As Im making my approach its a solid green left turn arrow I'm like yippee kiyiyay im gonna make it. I reach a few car lengths behind the line where you are supposed to stop for a red and the light turns from green to yellow. The jesus people are almost in the intersection I mean like 10 feet from the line, and they jam the brakes. It was the craziest shit **** thing I have seen in a while. I mean ive seen some dumb shit but this was like banging your sister dumb shit. It takes everything ive got to not rear end these people, and I was not tailgating, it just caught me by surprise that freakin jabronis would jam the brakes as soon as it turns from green to yellow.

So the left turn arrow is red now. I look over. The regular lights are still green, its just the left turn lane thats red. I check my mirrors and kick my V8 in gear, peel out into the intersection (big intersection). Roar down the road less than 100 yards, squeal the tires as I dukes of hazard style whip the car around. Come back to the intersection and stop at the red. Make a right on red to get where I need to go and wave as I drive off. I check the mir a couple of times to see if they ever catch up. I never see these morons again on my half hour trip down the road. Hopefully they are still sitting at the light.

Frustrating. Yes. However, contrary to popular belief, yellow also means stop. Jamming on the brakes.... certainly no need for that!

Green= go
Yellow=speed up
Red= slam on brakes

Starman, 1984 Good flick.

You know a lot of states have the red light cams now so if you are caught even partially in the intersection when it turns red you get a nice fat ticket mailed to you. Also cant blame them although if I have to jamb the brakes to stop in time I'm going through.

Yellow means "proceed with caution."

As in "Caution: the light is about to turn red. Gas it!!!"

Yellow means STOP and proceed with caution.

So true. I can't stand the waiting period when "maybe I didn't get one" is your mantra for the week until it finally arrives.

You think that's bad, we have one stop light in town, just a plain old 4 way. in the middle of the night the main road blinks yellow, and the side road blinks red. So in accordance people on the road just go and the people on the sides have to stop and make sure no one is coming before proceeding. Well the other day everyone was treating it like a four way stop, mind you this was in the middle of the day, but people on main road were stopping and letting people on the sides go, obviously when I got up to it I just drove straight through, could care less if it offends the morons that don't know it's not a 4 way stop unless the lights out or both directions are flashing red.

Yellow means go faster....
