Which one is the guy who charges through a red left turn arrow at the last moment even though oncoming traffic has already entered the intersection?

Probably the same one that pounces on a fresh green light without checking for oncoming traffic...

Nope. I am the former. The latter is suicide. I always check when I am the first car at a green. I’ve seen up to four cars follow each other through an intersection right in front of me while I have a green. All of the really bad examples were in Chicago. It’s a different world there compared to Seattle. They are better drivers in some ways and worse in others. They seem to pretty much ignore onramp traffic lights. I think I’m the only guy in Seattle that does.

If I take them out, it’s their fault!

My 65 pickup probably won’t get hurt but i will total their rice rocket!

Drive no less than 15 mph over the speed limit!

The most aggravating, and no doubt most frequent, are those who are making a left turn at a busy intersection and fail to get their vehicle out into the center of the intersection, creeping only slightly, with the majority of their car remaining in the crosswalk, so that when the light finally changes, and oncoming traffic stops, they are the only vehicle that gets through.

Aaaaarrrggghhh!!!!
