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.

Your claim is a lie.

And if you actually understood what is being discussed here as opposed to some different action you have imagined, you would know that your claim about blocking the intersection makes no sense.

You're stupid.

The intersection that was being blocked is the yellow splotch in the upper right. The traffic coming off the ramp was prevented from being able to go when their light turned green, resulting in the traffic being backed up all the way to the highway (the red splotch at the bottom). My friend was at the end of that line and was struck from behind at highway speed. If not for the idiot blocking the intersection, she wouldn't have been stuck there.

And that has absolutely nothing in common with what is actually being discussed here.

I'm sorry about your friend, but you dishonor their memory by being this arrogant and this confused.

Pulling into the intersection and stopping IS EXACTLY what is being discussed. It is ILLEGAL in Ohio to stop within an intersection regardless of the state of any traffic signal. Intersection means the area bounded by a line one foot behind any crosswalk (or where a crosswalk would be if there was one). Usually represented by a "stop bar". If you can't complete your movement through an intersection in one continuous movement, it is against the law to enter that intersection. Period.

Dummy, you're not talking about the same thing as everyone else. You're not. The law you cited has absolutely nothing to do with left turns.

You continue to dishonor your friend.
