Shrimp? Try not barbequing them.

Or should left turner turn into left most lane and right turner turn into right most lane?

This was a little more complicated because there was a pedestrian crossing so whoever turned into the left lane got to go first while the pedestrian was still crossing the right most lane.

Found these posts from a different location but same idea.
Terrible updating job by you. What exactly happened? The only interesting part of this is hearing about the actual conflict.

That ad also pisses me off. Sfa people here use the term shrimp. Well for the usual reasons anyway.

I was the dark blue car. The light blue car saw me creeping up once the pedestrian cleared out of the way and slammed on the accelerator to get to the left lane first. I think he was planning to get to go first without a challenge and he needed to be in the left lane to turn at the big intersection ahead. What I thought was unnecessary was a full 180 degree turn to add emphasis while giving the finger. But he actually zoomed in there so fast(to end up sitting at the red left turn arrow a couple hundred feet ahead anyway) that it didn't slow me down at all.

Yes prawns are the preferred nomenclature here but obviously I am exposed to shrimp on sites such as this. Candy, diapers and mom are other slight peeves. I want to also hate cookies but who can hate cookies?

One of my favorite memories of sailing across the Pacific was provisioning endless supplies of Tim Tams.

That I could remember that there is a difference between shrimp and prawns but couldn't remember what the difference actually is and then read about the difference again.

It was unnecessary for him to give you the finger but yeah, pretty sure he has right of way while making the right turn.

Without a challenge? wat

He clearly has the right of way so there is no "challenge". He was planning to get to go first, because he DOES get to go first. Why aren't you waiting for him to finish his turn?
Do you think that whoever gets to their chosen lane first, is the winner, and therefore the driving rules must conform to that person?


Also, even if another car isn't there, you're still supposed to wait until the pedestrian is on the sidewalk before you attempt to go through the crosswalk.

Since dark blue car was creeping up, I think the finger was warranted.

Just creeping but stopping only warrants the disappointed head shake I think. If he had to chirp his tires by slamming on the breaks then the finger comes into play.

Technically, he only has ROW to make a legal turn, which is only into the right lane, in most states. Highly ignored rule though. I'd been driving for 30 years before I heard of it for getting a ticket for it. Then googled and found out it was a real thing.

I dont think they even know about any of that, probably should piss me of if they knew anything about Michelin stars. I dont even know why it pisses me off that much, it just does.

Technically, neither one of them could make a legal turn until the pedestrian is out of the street.

Only a fool tries to make a left turn before, or at the same time, as the other car in this situation
