[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because nobody actually stops on the yellow, so you are stuck in the middle and obstructing traffic once it is full red. Heck, people opposite of you are running red all the time. Where do you live OP?![/quote]

This is the biggest reason.

The person turning left intends to use the yellow light to make the turn.

What if the oncoming car(s) intend to use the yellow to cross the intersection?  Too many people speed up to catch the yellow these days making the "I'm-in-the-intersection-making-a-left-on-yellow" risky.

It's at a point where I judge this by the intersection & traffic pattern and not one size fits all.[/quote]
Exactly, those of us who live here know which intersections are "ok" and which are not and even the time of the day when you can do this or not. Once I can turn left in this situation I move and make a turn, I am not new to traffic patterns here, and I don't hold up traffic if I can turn left safely. The moron that moved into the center when there is loads of oncoming traffic if the one keeping the traffic from moving. As well as all those oafs like op that do not permit people to go on green because they all piled up in the intersection without any space to clear it up. Op is a moron.[/quote]
