The other morning I was stopped at a red light in the right turn lane. I was assessing traffic and making sure that the car in the closest lane of cross traffic was really going to stop. Then I heard the honk. REALLY? Was someone honking at me because I had not yet turned right on red?
After I turned, and he turned too, he passed me. Yep, he was in a Mercedes convertible. I guess he thought he was more important than me, or that his time was more valuable than my safety.
Don’t you people realize that the right to turn right on red is a privilege and not a requirement? Go ahead and honk at me if I fail to notice a green light and am slow away from my stop. But don’t honk at me because I haven’t turned right on a red light.
