Correct.

I said I was the only car turning right. I also said others could have been stuck behind the stop line WANTING to turn right.

When did I say a few pedestrians were carelessly on their cell phones?

I never said that. What I said was that those in the first row at least who were waiting to cross were not paying attention that the signal had changed. I also said, they COULD have been on their cell phones or talking to their friends.

No.

As I said if I started two seconds earlier, the results would have been the same. The pedestrians would have realized two seconds earlier that the light had changed, most probably, and the guy would have started to cross in front of me two seconds earlier.

The on,y possible different result is that perhaps there would have been time fir another car to make a right turn before the signal turned red again.

You don't have to say it. You have already indicated your biases toward the pedestrian.

Are to talking in general or about this specific instance with me blocking the crosswalk regarding checking your side and rearview mirrors and turning toward the left? That is what you do when you are passing another car.

In this instance, when I stopped, I proceeded after the pedestrians in front of my car were finished crossing. You check your side and rearview mirrors to check what is going on in the back and sides of your car behind you. Since my next immediate action was to go forward, why is it relevant what is going on behind my car? And as for the checking the sides of my car, why would pedestrians be walking into the side of my car as I was moving forward unless they want to get hit? So I really do not see your point.

Wrong. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying you're wrong! Otherwise why would I have said anything??? You're WRONG that other cars would be stuck behind the stop line. They would instead be right behind the peds who were crossing behind you. The fact that peds crossed behind you is NO INDICATION that you were the only car turning right. So you have no basis whatsoever to claim that you were the only car turning.

You don't have to say it. You have already indicated your biases toward the pedestrian.


Two round trips between Yonkers and Miami, FL, one RT to NC/SC, many trips to Woodbury Premium Outlets, all by car and you say I am anti-car?

You check your side and rearview mirrors to check what is going on in the back and sides of your car behind you. Since my next immediate action was to go forward, why is it relevant what is going on behind my car? And as for the checking the sides of my car, why would pedestrians be walking into the side of my car as I was moving forward unless they want to get hit? So I really do not see your point.

Simple - - once you stop anywhere - - you CHECK ALL OF YOUR MIRRORS and IF NEEDED, LOOK OVER TO YOUR SIDES BEFORE YOU PROCEEED. That's in addition to checking your side mirrors before changing lanes - - as well as using your turn signals at least 100 feet prior to your intent. That's basic Driving 101.

Many people who only rent cars occasionally for long distance trips are anti-car when it comes to driving within the city limits.

And what you described is not Driving 101. You check your mirrors regularly while driving like every five seconds while you are on a highway. That keeps you alert. If you are in stop ant go traffic, you don't need to check your mirrors every time you move forward. You also check your mirrors when stopped at intersections. I was not stopped at an intersection. There was no need for me to check my mirrors before proceeding as long as there was no one to the right, left, or in front of my car. I didn't need mirrors to check that.

The area between the stop line and the crosswalk was occupied with pedestrians so there was no room for cars to advance beyond the crosswalk. Hence my conclusion that the pay had to wait at the stop line if they wanted to turn right. Do you get the picture now?

I hope you never drive in the other 49 states. You'll be another one of these dopes that rear end the stopped vehicle in front of you.

I would like to point out, I wish these folks would look ahead when the light turns red as well, or for obstacles, instead of driving looking down, and only look up when they're 2nd, 3rd, 8th in line at a stop.


But the, that's why those who rear end are automatically deemed at fault.

Where we disagree is whether or not you should have waited the two seconds. We agree on the consequences. But you think the consequences are no big deal and thus it's ok to wait two seconds and I think the consequences ARE a big deal and it's not ok to wait two seconds.

No. Once you were able to leave the crosswalk, people would be able to move back into the crosswalk, and then the cars wanting to turn could pull up to the threshold of the crosswalk.

It certainly affected the safety of the selfish and inconsiderate first person who crossed in front of my car.

What is amazing is that under no circumstance will you ever admit a pedestrian is ever wrong.

Sure I was upset I was delayed about 30 seconds, but that is not the real issue here, so dont try to make it seem like it is.

Your point was i should not have waited the two seconds which we disagreed on because you thought it was dangerous to do so and I thought it was safer.

Your other point about people being able to cross normally after I cleared the crosswalk was the same point I made. And your other point about a car pulling up to the crosswalk threshold would only mean ththat one additional car would have been able to turn on the same signal.

You stated that other drivers do that and implied there is nothing wrong with that practice. If you don't do that, i am glad to hear it.

The issue is one can't base his driving practices around what a bad driver might do. As I said, if you did, then you would never drive in the left lane of a highway fearing someone may cross the divider.

Many people who only rent cars occasionally for long distance trips are anti-car when it comes to driving within the city limits.

Your statement, while it may be true, does not apply to me - - since when did I ever say I rent a vehicle for occasional long distance trips? You said I was anti-car. I am anti-reckless driving, not anti-car (you can check out my National Vision Zero page on Facebook).



You said
Are to talking in general or about this specific instance with me blocking the crosswalk regarding checking your side and rearview mirrors and turning toward the left? That is what you do when you are passing another car.
and then you said . You check your mirrors regularly while driving like every five seconds while you are on a highway..... There was no need for me to check my mirrors before proceeding as long as there was no one to the right, left, or in front of my car. I didn't need mirrors to check that.


But you check your mirrors on the highway (which you are correct) but you also should check your side mirrors and turn your head if necessary when you are ready to move again after stopping for any reason....so a bicyclist to your right won't get hit as you start moving again.


And happy belated New Year if you have observed it.

and implied there is nothing wrong with that practice.
LOL! YOU = READING COMPREHENSION PROBLEM!!!! I never implied that. Why would I imply that????? It would be asinine! When in the past have I ever promoted asinine driving behavior?

If you don't do that, i am glad to hear it.
It shouldn't be a surprise. I'm an excellent driver. For example, I don't sit two seconds at a green light for no reason!!!!!!

The issue is one can't base his driving practices around what a bad driver might do.
100% incorrect. That's exactly what one should base his DEFENSIVE driving practices around!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Turn in your license now.

As I said, if you did, then you would never drive in the left lane of a highway fearing someone may cross the divider.
Huh? I drive with the possibility that someone may cross the DOUBLE YELLOW LINE in mind. That's one thing I base my DEFENSIVE driving practices around!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Turn in your license now.

You telling me i am wrong means absolutely nothing.
Wrong. It usually means you are wrong. Almost every statement you've made on this forum has been shown to be wrong, and you've lost practically every disagreement you've had here with intelligent people.

No, my specific point was that you have no basis whatsoever to claim that you were the only car turning.

I asked you a legitimate question and rather than answering, you just responded that you already answered. That is why having an honest discussion with you is not possible. There is no reason also to respond to insults. See I answered you question. I didn't state that I already told you why I would not respond to being called a liar.

Have the same decency.

Learn to read.

I stated I was the only car turning at the time. I also said that other cars may have wanted to turn but we're stuck behind the stop line and had to wait for the next signal.

Then you mentioned that one car could have moved up to the crosswalk allowing one other car to turn like 30 or 45 seconds after I turned. BIG DEAL.

So we are in agreement.

I am also anti-reckless driving and I have expressed that many times in the articles I used to write for Sheepsheadbites. But the anti-car people would always dismiss those comments and then distort what I would say about Vision Zero and deny I was pro-bus (because I do not agree with how SBS is moving forward) ant I was pro-car which I am not. I am pro transit but also recognize the importance of cars and driver rights. Anti-car people (which you apparently are not) beluieve drivers gave no rights and should never drive within the city limits. They want to force their values on everyone else.

As far as the mirrors comment, I am glad you added the "if necessary" because that is the key. In his case, even if a cyclist had started moving to the right of me after the pedestrians finished crossing, there still would not have been any conflict since we would both be traveling in the same direction. It was on,y necessary to look right to be sure the last person crossed who wanted to cross.

And I did observe the New Year and Happy belated New Year to you to.

So, you ASSUMED that the cyclist would go in the same direction as you. Assumptions are almost always false because when the cyclist decides to pass all lanes on 8th Ave, from right to left and you start as he got in front of you while changing lanes - - well.......

I asked you a legitimate question
No you didn't. No intelligent person would ask that question in response to that post.

and rather than answering, you just responded that you already answered.
Correct! So now you go back to that post and read it again and see that the answer is right there, plain as day. Then you apologize for missing it and then proceed as if you hadn't missed it.

That is why having an honest discussion with you is not possible.
No/ I'm very honest. Nothing I said is untrue. What this shows though is how your reading comprehension problems make it impossible to have an intelligent discussion with you, or at least one that doesn't involve holding your hand the whole way and repeating everything to you five times.

There is no reason also to respond to insults. See I answered you question. I didn't state that I already told you why I would not respond to being called a liar. Have the same decency.
Huh? I'm not insulting you when I call you a liar. You actually are a liar! I'm just stating a fact! Posting lies makes you a liar!
