[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was honked yesterday when I wouldn't make a right on red. In my defense, there was a No Right on Red sign. [/quote]

Was it a No Right On Red or a No Right on Red when pedestrians are present sign?  I see lots of people sitting at those and not turning, and I confess to honking at them.pretty often.  It's like people see the first half and then have a reading comprehension fail on the second part.[/quote]

Rght on red is permitted, not required. It is at the discretion of the driver who is the one who not only can see more of the intersection than the driver behind them but will also be liable if they hit someone or something because they just had to make that right turn right now. Or the person behind them thought they had to. [/quote]

If it is permitted, [b]and the intersection is clear[/b], and you're choosing to block everyone behind you by not turning right on red... then it just makes you a willful ahole. [/quote]

Honking at the driver in front of you who is not making the turn fast enough for you is worse. You should try going around really fast [b]but do be careful of that pedestrian you can’t see until you hit them[/b]. [/quote]

If simple reading comprehension is so hard for you, you really, REALLY should not be permitted to drive.

And you know this sitting behind a car waiting to turn at the intersection?

This actually happened to me once. I was the lead driver and a guy two cars back honked because I wasn’t going right on red. It was one of those wide open intersections near the Tysons Galleria - good lines of sight, etc. He didn’t see the wheelchair crossing in front of me due to the larger vehicle between us. But he sure thought he could.

You seem a bit ragey about this, PP. perhaps you shouldn’t be driving with all that pent up inside. [/quote]
