Terse Tuesday IV

Right turn on red is okay, unless there's cross traffic. If the cross traffic is stopped and the intersection is clear (because it's a serious and well-deserved ticket if you allow yourself to be stopped in the intersection), it is not an invitation to turn right into that opening. That's cutting in line. I refuse to do it. And if you are behind me while I refuse to do it, honking is not going to help. Furthermore, you are now an asshole.

Omg, I hate the honkers. Ticket if you turn while someone's in the crosswalk too, and sometimes the honker moron can't see them.

Haha! You can't really do that in a Camry ... it's hard to honk. You gotta mean it. I guess that's good.

Extra asshole points if the honker then tailgates you after you both make the turn, attempting to make you go faster by driving up your rear bumper. I tap a little tattoo on my brake pedal for people like that, who inevitably whoosh around on my left to display their disapproval of my observing the traffic laws. With luck, one of them will get a speeding ticket that way someday.
