I agree. And the same thing to people who honk if you don't turn right at a red light. They can honk all they want when I'm traveling south and am at the intersection of 466 & Rolling Acres Road. 466 looking east is a bit of a curve, and it's impossible to determine for sure what lane the oncoming cars are in.

Plus it is not mandatory to turn red on a red light, nor to inch out into the intersection to turn left on a green if you can't see who's coming.
