Obviously some of you drivers never bothered learning the rules of the road. Or it was your drunk father who taught you to drive. So here goes. . You can not turn left on a non-advance green. If there is no pretty little arrow saying it’s okay to go left, don’t. Do not turn into oncoming traffic unless the way is clear. And don’t look at me with that fucking “How dare you” look whn I give you the horn for being an idiot. Just a heads up: I will not slow down and stop for you to get out of my way. I am heading right for you. And if I trash your vehicle and injure (or kill) your passenger, it’s your own fault.

I am going to avoid left turns all together knowing you’re out on the same roads as me!! Are you saying a friend (passanger) of a stupid person (bad driver) deserves to die?
Sometimes it “looks” like you’re in the clear to make a left.. when you try to go, there is a car speeding towards you… Cause ya know, they are HIDDEN behind cars heading the other direction, ALSO trying to make a left…Pretty sure, people dont PLAN to get in an accident, and kill them selves, or their passengers… So get a fuckin life, and give people a break..
I agree with the OP about idiot drivers. All too often I see people making turns where they clearly shouldn’t. Newsflash: if you can’t tell if it is clear to turn, don’t assume it is. Pay attention when you drive, just because the opposing traffic has an advance light doesn’t necessarily mean you have one as well (look up to the light) (I’ve seen people a left turn when they had a red because the opposing traffic had an advance, and a green). Ah yes, if you are making a left turn at the lights and there is no dedicated left turn lane, put your fucking turn signal on as the MVA states (at least 20-30 m before your fucking turn, not as soon as the light goes from red to green decide to let me know that you want to make a left because that is when I decide to let you know of my feelings with my horn)
