Now I am right behind them also now waiting for the next GREEN for another chance to go.

Hopefully we have a GREEN arrow so I don't go through this again.

OH ya...why is it when a long line of cars are turning left they each leave a gap the length of a bus between them ??
If they all followed more closely than more cars could turn before the light changes to Red again

OK end rant
+1 on this.
One day a good few years ago when I was a littl... no, a lot wilder a lady did this to me in rush hour three times and we would have sat there until the rush hour was over. So at the next green I eased up behind her and slowly pushed her into the intersection. Surprise, we both got through on this little manouver. She was a bit stunned to find herself out there to say the least. That was in the days of heavy chrome bumpers, today we would have $500 damage to each car.

My wife worked with a woman who could not turn left as it was tooooo scary, she drove one block past where she should turn left and did three right turns to get back on track.
