Subject: Yielding to right-turning cars when turning left
People have just turned into arseholds. Yesterday, a guy didn’t wait his turn at a 4 way stop. Just followed the car in front of him. Sunday, I saw a guy drive on the wrong side of the road to pass a car, left turners just go when people are turning right. People steal from cvs because they think no one gets hurt. It’s sad.

Unless you suck and need three lanes to make a right turn.
This. Stick to your lane and you can both go.
Ugh, I hate this. Sometimes I’m making a right into the left lane because I need to be in that lane to make an immediate turn. I shouldn’t have to turn into the right lane and fight my way over to the left lane because some jerk making a left couldn’t wait their turn.
Some of you are just terrible, selfish drivers.

If it’s green light for both: left turners yield.
Red light for right turners, green light for left turners: right turners yield.
Red light for right turners, green light for left turners: right turners yield.

This. If the right turners are “turning on red” even if no arrow for left turners, then they need to yield to left turners.

OP here: Yes, I did know this - that's my entire point. It seems that there are many people around me on the roads who don't know this or don't care which made me second guess myself.

I can't ever make it through the light because of all the right turning cars. People just all start honking and it's a mess. I feel like the left turners should have priority because you can make right turns on red lights, but the left turners have to wait for a green light.
What's going on? Sh!t drivers and no education whatsoever. If you come from another place, we automatically just give you a drivers license. Seems there should be a test.
I also think a lot of these intersections need to have separate green lights for each side to avoid this issue. There overall seems to be less traffic light timing/coordination going on in this area.

+1, from a safety standpoint of course you yield to the right turning car (and pedestrians in the cross walk). Some drivers are malignant idiots and don't care though.

I've tried googling this but haven't found an answer. Growing up in Virginia, I was taught to always yield to right-turning cars when turning left. However now that I live in Maryland, I see left turning cars just plow through regardless of how many cars are trying to turn right coming from the opposite direction. What's going on - just terrible selfish drivers or is this not a rule in Maryland?
