A huge pet peeve of mine is when someone stays in the right lane at a red light when there is no turn lane and they intend to go straight.

A line of people behind you who could be turning right but now cant because you didnt have the foresight to get over one lane. a-hole.

The why do most accidents occur at intersections where there are usually lights?

You could just shoot yourself in the face and nobody will need to see you

The pedestrian signal is a countdown timer to when your light is turning red, so maybe tap that gas pedal a little harder so we can get through.

I have a huge problem with ppl pulling over cross walks.

Yes accidents but it's always the same type of ppl.

And drive slow in the left lane right next to a car in the right lane so it forces speeders to slow down. It’s safer for everyone

My guesses
1) turning left without an arrow
2) turning right without looking AT ALL
3) running red lights where it’s not even close
