Turning Right, Green Light (No Green Arrow)

[projectx]

Is it just me or are more and more people stopping at the white line on a green light and waiting until there is no cars for 3km before they go? Then the poor bastards behind them get the red light!

Annoys the f**k out of me.

Annoys the f**k out of me. If i can, i go around them. Then they make a big deal like i did something wrong...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the law? Wait till a space before leaving the white line..?

- technically you're meant to make a judgement; if you see that you can make it through the intersection in time, then move forward and go as soon as safe to do so, BUT yes some people tend to wait for a mile of space, thats in all situations, changing lanes and all...

But in this case you're meant to continue through the intersection soon as its safe to turn, and if you're already over the white line, you have to finish the turn even if its on the red, because you can and will get booked if you are sitting in the middle of the intersection when its red.

- if you're unable to judge properly the time and distance needed to make the turn then you're best to wait behind the white line, since most ppl do, because some ppl make driving look like a chore

People tend to make driving a task, when its not. and dont get me started on this NEW roundabout 'law' that seems to be making its way to the eastern states.....LOL

i was always told (truth or not) you can roll up over the line and wait to turn safely

though u do need to have your wheel pointing straight in case your hit from the rear and sent into on coming traffic...

If your over the line you need to cross once the cars on the other side of the road has stopped so ur not caught in the middle of the intersection (even though ur half running a red light)

thats what i thought anyway

Not just turning, just this morning there was a lady driver who stopped in the white line on a green light and there was at least 5 car space in front of her...

I was behind her and manage to sneak behind her on a amber light, but poor guys at the back

I think it's a f**cking good thing that people are being so cautious as that's how a dickhead P plater wrote my 32 off.. I was the poor sucker heading straight through the lights when he tried to take a gap that wasn't there and failed miserably.

You should have boosted it. = happy ending

Barely had time to grab brakes there was that little of a gap.. but hey, got an R34 now

Not nearly as bad as those who don't seem to understand how a traffic light without a green arrow (not red neither) but with the normal forward green light means that you can make your right hand turn as long as there are no incoming traffic!

So many times some clueless moron just sit there behind the line while there are no incoming traffic coming at all & wait out for the green arrow to reappear which won't until the next light cycle.
