re: Drivers who sit through a traffic light change while hey look at their phones.

A few years ago I watched an old woman stop at a light about 1.5 car lengths from the white line in a left turn lane. The traffic light had one of those sensors that detects if a car is in the lane and controls if/when the left turn signal appears. Poor woman sat through 4-5 cycles of the light before the person behind her had to get out and explain to her she needed to pull up.
I've seen this too
As well as the "do not stop" merging lanes side by side on a right hand turn. I saw one time a car that stopped like she was waiting for a light, eventually a baw in a jeep jumped over the median and went right around her.

Drivers who use the road as engineers designed them to be used? Get over it. I'm using the entire road that my tax dollars paid for.
If you're one of those guys who uses the exit lane as a passing lane and then blocks the exit while you wait for someone to let you in... frick you.
If you're going to use that lane then you'd better have the balls to merge or take your losses and go through with the exit.

If their head is down they get the horn almost immediately. I was never a horn blower, but over the past 10 years or so, I’ll hit that horn in a second as it’s just fricking inexcusable the way people drive or fail to in this city. My tolerance and long suffering has reached an end.

Same thing for a blinking red light at an intersection. Best I can tell drivers just say frick it and go, no clue what to actually do.
This was awful after Gustav. The intersection between Burbank and Lee was the worst because it was used by a bunch of dumb college kids and included a turning lane. You were almost obligated to slow to a stop even if you had the blinking yellow because someone would dart through the intersection thinking you would stop too.

blow your horn, they look up and realize what's going on.
My favorite is when they are so embarrassed they get mad at you for honking at them.

I honked a tow truck that made a u-turn on Airline, and instead of ending up in an unoccupied lane, he whipped in front of me and made me change lanes to avoid hitting him. He followed me to the next light, pulled up alongside me on the shoulder, and screamed, "BIG MAN IS LATE FOR WORK! BIG MAN IS LATE FOR WORK!" while blowing his horn repeatedly. It was hilarious.

I’ve been waiting for car companies to come out with a feature that beeps when a light turns green.
If a car is stationary in front of me for a few seconds then moves and I'm not moving with them, my car beeps to tell me to go.
Subaru Outback FTW.

I am truly taken aback by how many drivers on the road do not know you can turn right on red.
I've honked at so many only to get a puzzled look and arms thrown in the air like they have no clue why I'm honking.
How do you even pass your driving test not knowing that? How do you make it years, even decades, of driving friends and family around without someone telling you you're an idiot?

that’s just as annoying as people honking at a no turn on red sign

Drivers who go to the front to get let in when a lane is closed instead of getting in line
That's exactly how you're supposed to do it.

And they leave 1-2 cars lengths between them and the car in front of them. I have actually gone around them and got in front of them.

I think he's talking about people that use a right turn only lane to cut ahead the line for through traffic. Think northbound Lee drive @ Nicholson. I haven't lived in BR for 10 years and I still remember that fricking intersection.

In a perfect world where people will let you in.

The through lane usually starts opening up as you get close to the lane closure.
