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 :P

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

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.

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
