Another thing. I was taught that if you want to turn left at a green traffic light you are supposed to pull into the intersection a bit short of the center and wait for oncoming traffic to pass. Then you turn. This way, at least one or two cars can make the turn.

Even worse, when the light does turn green (a green arrow allowing the turners to go first), and you're in line for the left turn, seconds go by before the first one makes the turn, and then more seconds go by for the second one. The light is red again before you can even move the first time. Bah!

Those nappers are the same ones who cut in front of you a minute before.

There are a lot of people with very slow reactions. (Also, texting on the phone helps.) Every move they make has a three-second delay. Even on the straightaway, they wait until the car in front of them is about 50 feet ahead before they gently press on their gas pedal.
