Others have said I should wait until oncoming traffic has cleared before I enter the intersection. If you choose one or the other, please tell me why you do what you do.
Is there a FL statute that covers this? Thanks
Drivers Ed many, many years ago indicated to take possession of the intersection and turn left when traffic clear or light allows to complete the turn.
