I agree that many drivers think they are better drivers than they are and that there are plenty of morons out there. I usually see at least one every day. But they put the good drivers in jeopardy.For example, the reason I stated that there needs to be adequate advance notice for left turn only lanes is that often when they suddenly appear and you find yourself in one when you need to go straight, drivers in the through lane won't let you switch because they want to make the signal. If you wait for say three cars to pass before someone lets you in, the cars in vbaxk of you who want to turn left start honing their horn. I will just ignore them. But an inexperienced driver might become intimidated and may try to force his way out of the lane and BOOM you have an accident. If there were no bad drivers, it wouldn't matter if there is no advance notice. You would just get out of the lane when you want to switch. Since that is not the case, there needs to be signs one block in advance that the lane will become a left turn only lane. All that said, I still believe that the vast majority of drivers are responsible. So when someone tries to portray drivers as murderers looking for an opportunity to mow down their next pedestrian, it upsets me. |
