It’s mind bogglingly selfish.
I’m beginning to think it’s more about a complete lack of reasoning skills and/or being oblivious to their surroundings.
Sure, there are selfish idiots that do it also, but most are simply morons.

It’s actually an enforceable infraction where they can be ticketed but no one does it.

If done well it's OK.
I call em Philly turns bc years ago before the advent of flashing yellow / turn arrows / left turn lanes the only way you get to turn left for blocks and blocks in Philly is to plant yourself in the middle of the intersection.
But, when it turns yellow and the oncoming traffic stops, you turn.
Land of the hunter / hunted - it's tough out there.

I went ballistic at a guy that did that last week. He crossed a lane that was the on ramp to I20 and got stuck blocking the entire lane. My light turned green so I crossed the intersection and sat there calling him everything I could think of that was degrading. As I passed him I was still inventing cuss words, he actually yelled back at me and was convinced he had done nothing totally stupid. And yeah, he was a Democrat.

These would be easy tickets for cops to write.
