[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting to read the responses.

This happened to me recently. The car going straight stopped and honked at me and I gestured toward the pedestrian walking nonchalantly and illegally in the crosswalk.

The problem is that I only have a few seconds to turn left at this intersection during the morning commute: there is no green arrow, cars are coming thick and heavy even when the lights turns orange, so when I have a small window, I have to take it. [/b]The cars behind me waiting to turn left like me all start to honk anytime they perceive that I (or another car) take too much time to turn, because they'll be stuck waiting an extra light cycle, or several.

Wretched traffic.

No, you don't have to take it. And you only have a few seconds because there are too many cars on the road. That "too many" includes you.

You take as long as it takes to turn and wait until it's fully clear of cars, people, or obstruction. If you have to wait several light cycles, then that's what you do. It's basic driving 101.
