Left-hand turns have the right of way?!

Posted on Wed, May 14, 2014 at 11:10 AM

I may be wrong...and if i am wrong, someone please correct me: I was taught at both the drivers training courses as a teen, and all of my drivers' training courses (mandatory for my line of work) as an adult, that when at an intersection, or even outside of one...that unless the opposing traffic to your plane of travel has an advanced green or turn signal, that someone turning left in front of traffic in an unsafe manner, or in the case of an intersection with a mutual green (no advance) that a person making a left turn is in violation of the highway traffic act and general rules of the road.

Why is it then that I see this happening pretty much on a daily basis? Guy last night, even though Iwanted to hit you just to prove a point...in this case you had little ones in your vehicle. What gets me so mad is that you unsafely made a left hand turn into oncoming traffic forcing myself and the person in the lane beside me to slam on their brakes. We both avoided the collision with you while giving you a horn for your stupidity and you flipped US off. I hope your children stay alive with you at the wheel...you already have put them in jeopardy once. -Icky12
