Was just having an argument with several friends about this. I like the way this guy puts it: The left turn intersection fearer: Pull out. Pu ... pull ... pull out. Pull out! PULL OUT! Dear God, you better be a student driver or on your way home from being lobotomized. As much as I enjoy sitting through lights multiple times, perhaps next go-round you could just slowly pull out into the intersection during the green light cycle so that when it turns yellow and the oncoming traffic stops, a couple of us can, you know, actually travel through the light.

I'm about to go through two busy intersections in a town full of people that are terrified of cars and refuse to PULL OUT!!!
Tomorrow is Friday. I'll be okay.

No..the solid line means you are not suppose to cross it.

I internally rant at drivers all the time who stay put and don't move to the turning position! 'Course my dad taught drivers' ed and I was pretty well schooled in how to operate a motor vehicle......
