[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I try to remember not to do it in DC.

[b]I also pull out into the intersection when making a left, and often wait until the light has turned and traffic has cleared, before being able to turn[/b].[/quote]

you have to do this at a ton of intersections around here, or nobody would get anywhere. i hate people who are too timid to do that.

I was taught to get into the intersection and clear it if the light turns red.  The only time/ place I don't do it is if you Won't be able to complete the turn on read, which was also taught.  I think "Don't block the box" was developed because too many people couldn't clear the intersection on red.

I did not know turn left on red onto a one way street was illegal in DC.  Seems like that should become standard everywhere like right on red was in the 70s/80s(?).[/quote]

Or, let’s go the other way and ban right and left on red in DC.  Feel free to do what you want in Montana.  Pedestrians first.[/quote]
