The OP stated he had the green arrow a few posts down for the original.

Yes, and the conversation changed at that point. As stated, the original post was flawed.

Reality is what matters. The left turn vehicle had a green arrow. The right turn vehicle had a red light. The fact that he /she could not see the left turn arrow is irrelevant. If that driver turns right and is involved in an accident, he/she is at fault. PERIOD. Case closed.

That is why it is important to read (at least some of) the thread BEFORE responding...

Which, at this point, is irrelevant to the conversation at hand...

As you correctly point out, a "turn on red" driver is at the mercy of everyone else on the road. The right-on-red turner has absolutely no rights whatsoever, other than to turn if he's not bothering anyone. I wonder where people learned to drive? Bangladesh? Buenos Aires? There's some crazy driving in this world, but by the time one moves to The Villages, they should have it figured out by now. |

In most states where I’ve driven, whenever two cars can simultaneously utilize the road, the dominant car has a green light and the other has a yellow light to signify ‘go only when it’s safe’. I seem to run into situations pulling out of shopping centers where both oncoming traffic from across the street going straight in have a green light & I also have a green light to turn left. I just watch the opposing traffic & let them go. Many of us from elsewhere just accelerate when the light turns green; we need yellow lights for the one who only has permission when the route is clear & should be liable for damages. (Also turning in other places, both oncoming & left turns have green lights. I get honked at for not turning in quicky gaps; I’d rather wait for my real green light. |

Out of 131 posts, yours gets my vote for the most confusing.

Agree! But, you are dealing with folks who want things their own way, no matter what. Those people can be dangerous, so, always be careful. Good luck and drive safely.
