Developing the sports arena has led to so many incidents. The players aren’t a disciplined group. Speeding, drugs, etc. Now they want more sports teams. When the lights turn green, look before you hit the pedal.

I was surprised while staying in Billings, MT. Quickly learned that 2 to 3 cars going through a light after it changed was the cultural norm.

Of course that meant I had to follow suit or risk getting rear-ended!

Hear in Seattle the left-turns are terrible. Light turns green (arrow). First car gets off their phone and goes many seconds later.

3 or 4 car lengths later the second car goes.

Car 3 is 2 car lengths away. I’m right on their tail hoping to make the light.

Of course I’m the only one that actually turns into the left lane. The rest of them have gone into the right lane of the two lane road. But you have to be careful because that is often temporary until they swing back into the left lane.
