That is a strange custom and I could see it causing problems. In Los Angeles there is a sort of unwritten rule for unprotected lefts, which is most of the intersections in the city. After the light turns red, 2 cars get to turn left. Out of town tourists that don't go when the light changes will get honking and some gestures. |
This is completely true and really is a culturally learned behavior because of the almost complete lack of left turn signals in much of the city. I drive pretty agresssively anyway so I caught on pretty quickly when I drive there.
