A common trend I seem to be noticing more and more lately is people going through yellow / red lights that are turning left. Now at times I understand theres some other guy who wants to show off how he can run the yellow light which prevents the left turner from turning until it is red, but some people just take it to far.

You always see two guys at the lights, one in the intersection and one just past the white line. They should go even when its turning yellow to red since they are past the white line.

But for some unknown reason the guy behind the white line (the third vehicle) decides to go as well. He’s well behind the line, the light is pretty much hitting red and his impatient derriere decides to go making the people about to get a green the other way have to wait for his impatient a$$ to complete his turn. Not only does this prevent the number of people with advanced greens going the other way of getting through, it just backlogs traffic even more.

Speaking of advanced greens, this “phenomenom” also happens with people on advanced greens. You know the guy he sees the advanced green symbol turn yellow and he’s still pretty far back from the line and he guns it to still go even though he doesnt have an advanced green anymore. Another impatient driver preventing the other side from going when they get the green light.

This happened to me once where a person turned left when the advanced green clearly had ended. My side had a green light for at least a second when he decided to turn left. And guess what happened? He gets stuck in the intersection because of backlog in the left lane he’s turning into. So not only does he go when he shouldnt, he has now also made our whole side not able to go on the green because he decides to go when he doesnt have a green turn light. And then as people honked at him to show him he clearly made a stupid move, he honks back and gets mad. Damn you BMW X3!
