Nice thread bump!

On a similar note, I was in Vegas a few weeks ago. I pulled into the left turn lane at an intersection where you can only turn left on a green arrow. There was one vehicle in front of me in line, with his hazards on. When we got the green arrow, the car in front didn't move, as it was clearly disabled. I was unable to go around him at the moment, because the traffic going straight had the red light, and the lane to my right was occupied. On my left was a concrete barrier.

After my left turn arrow went red, and the straight traffic light turned green, I pulled around the disabled vehicle into the left straight traffic lane, angled into the intersection in front of the disabled vehicle, and turned left as soon as the oncoming traffic (which was very light) eased up.

I technically broke the law, as I made a left turn on a red left turn arrow. But what am I to do?

A) With the disabled vehicle blocking the left turn lane, pull into the left lane and sit there, blocking straight traffic, until I eventually get another left turn green arrow?

B) Abandon all hope of turning left there, and go somewhere else. That disabled car has screwed humanity over.

My Vegas-local friends were following me in their car when I pulled that maneuver. When we got to our destination, they said, "Ravage! I can't believe you blatantly broke the law like that!"

To which I replied:

"I'm from New York...I don't have time for this bullshit!!"
