Was that you?

Inappropriatly timed yellow lights are another issue in anchorage, ones bumper can cross the line into the intersection when the light turns yellow and it will be red before they complete the turn and there is only about a 1 second delay between the light turning red and the other lights turning green. That is a HUGE problem in Anchorage, when I went to Hawaii they had appropriatly timed yellow lights. The whole idea of a yellow light is to give you ample warning of a red light not just a formality to cycle through especially on icy roads, I use the cross walk signals to help me gauge because the yellow lights dont help but that does not always work in more complex intersections.

If you pulled out and hit someone from a stopped position and hit someone who had already entered the intersection when their light turned yellow YOU would be at fault. Also half your day would be pissed away because you had something to prove.

I never have anyone honking at me or flipping me off so there is clearly a problem with YOUR driving, your clearly of the mind set that if you have the right of way then F every one else on the road.

...that you know of...because noticing such things would require actually paying attention to the road by removing one's head from one's rectum.

If you would have ever told me that one day we would actually meet someone arguing that the problem on the roads are caused by the people following the rules...

I know how you feel. This forum is becoming very tedious. I'm pretty close to deleting the bookmark myself as well.
