So then stuck behind them for an entire green light ,the light turns yellow and of course the moron isn't gonna be making his turn now like he should and then the light turns red again. So we sit and wait for the green arrow now which the moron missed the first time cause he was on his friggin cell phone and not paying attention.
So hopefully he will go when the next green arrow comes on or somebody is gonna get hurt.

I have been known to pull around in front of these morons and proceed turning left when the yellow lights up and the oncoming traffic stops.

Now don't even get me started with the jerkoff driving the speed limit it the left lane !!!
Me too Valk. You can ask my wife. I'm always bitching about that driver that won't pull out into the intersection stranding you through the next series of red lights.

I don't like red lights and they are a big waste of energy in this country. That is, the gas being wasted sitting ideling at the red light or the stop and go they cause. I would like to see more traffic circles as they have in the UK. They may be a little confusing at first but once you get used to them you wouldn't go back. I put on 1,200 miles in the UK and loved the traffic circles, I believe they call them "round abouts."

We have a traffic circle near our second home in Angola Indiana right downtown at the intersection of Rt 20 and Wayne street that has been there more than 100 years. Big trucks, cars, and motorcycles just sail on through.
