Traffic gripe of the day
Posted on 10/20/21 at 5:32 pm

I come to an intersection with a 4 way stop light. I am turning right, the light is green. I slow down to make the turn.
As I do this, I have someone coming from the opposite direction wanting to turn left, going the same way on the same street as me. Clearly, he is supposed to yield to me as I make my turn, but without fail, these cocksuckers start their turn and are halfway into it, damn near cutting me off. There’s nobody behind me, so it’s not like they are trying to squeeze in. I’m about ready to do a turn slow enough to get one of these fricks to rear end me so I can get a new tailgate out of the deal.

I'm getting sick of drivers who pull out into traffic causing me to have to brake. They just assume it's my job to slow down. And they make no effort to speed up.

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired

These drivers will one day pull out in front of a driver busy texting that will not see them nor slow down……

I'm trying to figure out why drivers are leaving huge gaps behind the car in front of them at red lights.

How many lanes in each direction is the street y’all are turning onto?

This + left lane campers.

This is thoughtless bullsbhiat because it backs traffic up, people can't turn and they are not using the available space. I believe the folks who do this have a monthly meeting to discuss how to piss people off who actually have a job.

Do they still have those gangs that drive around flashing their lights at people and if you flash back they murder you? They were big in the 90s.

Amen. I would seriously love to hear their explanation. They are just sitting there daydreaming 25 feet behind the car in front of them. And it happens all the time.

In Baton Rouge it’s so we can escape when the shooting starts.

Two lanes plus a turn lane. Sign for him clearly says to yield. I always turn into the far right lane, as I should.
I’ve had this happen going onto 1 lane streets as well.

I’m sick and tired of drivers who don’t understand what to do if a red light is not operating. They think they should just keep going and not treat it like a 4 way stop.
Always jamming up the ducking intersections causing complete chaos

In Louisiana you both are supposed to turn to the most inside lane…meaning there is a lane for each of you. You take the right lane, the oncoming turner takes the left lane.

Define “not operating”.

You need a way out if you're gonna get carjacked.
Of course this practice is saved for certain cities.

Flashing yellow means proceed with caution. I hate idiots who stop at flashing yellow lights when the traffic light gets reset.
