re: Proper driving etiquette at intersections

I avoid left turns on Perkins like the plague. Those people who try to turn left out of McDonald's near the College/Perkins light and the asshats who let them out, thus delaying 100 at a time, need classes in general thinking 101.

We are having a peaceful easy drive until this idiot comes flying up my arse, so I get in the right to let him pass.

So you were camped out in the left lane? And then after he passed you got BACK in the left lane?

Looking at you, people exiting I-10 at Highland trying to turn left. You can all go frick yourself for jamming up highland and perkins every fricking day.

Why don't they turn when the light turns red? That's how we do it up here with our simple 4 Lanes

I hate the person that sits at the light and doesn't even attempts to pull up

I was going between 80-90 mph. That's reasonable in the fast lane

It's not a fast lane. You should only be in that lane when you are actually passing someone. That way no one has to come up behind you and wait for you to get over.

I think he's talking about people who have a left turn arrow, proceed to turn while the arrow is green, but the street they're turning onto is backed up so they can't clear the intersection before their arrow turns red.
This makes it so they're sitting in the middle of the intersection blocking others from going when their light turns green.

It's usually like 2-3 cars who do this, so sometimes several lanes of traffic are blocked because the dumbasses are in the middle of the intersection not moving.

Thank you Dorothy. My OP wasn’t hard to interpret

Are you understanding now?

You didn't say any of that in your OP. You called the driver you had to get over for an idiot. What made him an idiot? And said the stereotype is real. I don't get it. Was he wrong for being in the left lane and doing 100, and wanting you out of his way?

He is in the proper lane to zoom on by, but he can be a little patient as I find an opening to get over. He was impatient and aggressive, which is what you see a lot of in Baton Rouge.
