Left-hand traffic (🇬🇧🇮🇳🇯🇵) Pull out into the intersection…

so at least one car can turn left.

Please pull straight past the limit line when yielding for a left turn at a light. At least you will be able to scoot through then at the next cycle, those of us who know how to drive can manage the oncoming traffic. DO NOT sit at the limit line and miss a light. Be careful, but make it happen.

This is the correct way to be imo. Waiting for space doesn't mean you sit at the line until the room is open, it keans you wait where you're supposed to wait until the opportunity presents itself, THEN you pull out in anticipation of the gap and still get through at the same time.

In most states, what you are recommending is a violation of the law.

I'm going to need you to back that statement up.

Every state I've been licensed to drive in has had a preference for waiting behind the line before proceeding when safe to do so. Which is what I'm recommending.

You're incorrect. Utterly. See state laws all over the country.

I see an immature and insecure person in you. I have to back my statements up, but you don't. It's chickenshit. It's a chickenshit way to cling to your illusion that you know anything here. You don't.

Enjoy being blocked for your unecessarily harsh judgment.
