There needs to be annual driving tests

The really dumb ones are someone that has a left turn signal and is making a U Turn losing their shite because they think the person at the intersecting lane with a green right turn signal doesn't have the right of way. They're both green lights dumbass and your green light is for a left turn, not a U turn so therefore you are to yield to the other green light.

The local drivers are the best reason to invest in a good high-def dash camera.

As long as that lane's the nearest one, the driver chose correctly.

If turning on to a 2 lane road, both should stay in respective lanes and both can turn at the same time

A left turning vehicle never has the right of way unless it has a green arrow.

Car turning right but always stay in your bottom lane anyway (if 4 lanes or more) in case the other guy doesn’t know how to drive.

If drivers are approaching an intersection from opposite directions, the driver turning left must yield to approaching traffic going straight or turning right (traffic going straight or turning right has the right-of-way). Two drivers at an intersection that arrived at the same time at a right angle- the driver on the left must yield the right-of way. ( the driver on the right has the right of way

The bad drivers would also wipe out the good drivers.

Four lane road with an extra lane for left/right turn. Wife got mad at left turn driver that honked horn at her when he had the left turn green. She was turning right on red after full stop. Light was still red for going straight. Argument ensued.

Next time we passed this intersection, I pointed out the yield sign. New argument ensued.


Congrats on marrying a bitch and a dumbass.

True, but I am apparently the only person in Shreveport who can manage to turn without swinging into the farthest lane.

People drive like their Camry is a log truck that needs to swing out. Hell, they even nudge over to the right before making a left turn.
