Yeah, you are correct.

Driving thru roundabouts, I always have one hand on the horn and I honk at people a lot, especially if they do not yield when I have the right-of-way.

Sometimes they ignore me, but usually they pay attention and yield to me. If they ignore me, I let them go, but I keep honking until they are out of earshot. I have never come close to hitting anyone.

Ah some of my favorite people on the road are the ones in the far right lane sitting at the red light while it is legal and clear to go but wait for the green before turning right.

I'd watch your honking though, these days goofballs shoot other drivers for just the slightest things, like windshield washer fluid sprinkling water onto their car.

I am one of your favorite people.

I often leave Osceola Hills, drive south on Morse, and turn right on Route 44.

If the stop light is red at 44, I wait in the right lane until it turns green.

My first question was going to be "why"?

But let me move that to second, the first now being: Does anyone who actually does that have even the most miniscule of driving skills whatsoever, and do they consider themselves a hazardous obstruction on the roadways as they should?

OP, were you cited? If what you say is true, I hope you find someone that can verify that. As a person that rode motorcycles for over 50 years, I don’t always side with the rider. I see so many new riders riding above their ability and going too fast for the circumstances. With that said, my biggest fear as a rider was some old person turning in front of me. I quit riding at 72, back problems. Good luck.

:oops: A little insight into how this person thinks: FROM THE BELT LADY THREAD - "Things like this irritate me."

"I might have stood there for a couple hours arguing with her and saying how unhappy I was with the product she was selling and I would keep asking for my money back. During my diatribe, she would probably not make any sales.

In any confrontation, physical or verbal, the goal is to cause the other person more unhappiness than they cause you."

Can we spell G-R-U-M-P-Y O-L-D M-A-N? :sad:

I'm not sure I understand where you were going with this

I do it once because some people either are not looking or don’t know they can do it ,it works they move , should I sit there and wait through a whole traffic cycle so not to offend them . I am not surprised at all by your statement , after reading many of your posts

I think she may be pointing to the poster just wanting to annoy people either here or on the road. But I agree with you.. why? Why wait if they are clear to go? Only thing I come up with is that in some states they have to stop on red and wait no matter. So it's habit, ignorance, or whatever else when they do that in states that allow you to turn right. But there are some signs for that in a few places that specifically tell you to wait for green even when turning right. In Vegas it was a double lane going right that had the stop & wait for green at the intersection. Probably for safety but that I get.

I used to just lightly tap the horn when I came across one of "those people." Most appear to wake up and go like they should. But these days like I mentioned... the easily offended may be armed.

I think we have veered off the original topic. I believe the OP was looking for witnesses to the accident.

Thread Closed. If anyone witnessed the accident they can PM the OP.
