I once was at the light at Morse and 466 East waiting to turn right. Saw an emergency vehicle coming behind me and cars/trucks in all three lanes. The light was red---I looked both ways then I made my turn, even though in another instance it wouldn't have been the correct thing to do. I also could see that the E.V. needed space to get past everyone. I've noticed here, people seem to get confused easily and just do nothing. Again, it makes me wonder if people actually ever had "Driver's Education". Back in the day---our schools had BOTH classroom (for a year) plus behind the wheel. The latter wasn't required but suggested, however classroom was required, with a grade. I still remember many of the road rules---stop-signs and signals to be specific.
