right-on-red stress

I'm in a new town. I don't feel comfortable turning right-on-red with
the amount of traffic. Most of these types of intersections are marked
"no right turn on red" where I'm from and it just seems bad to gun the
gas on red to save a few seconds. It would be too easy to miss a
speeding car on a yellow light or a pedestrian. Lots of people speed
here. Cars here beep at people that don't turn on red. How do I handle
these beepers? If I don't feel comfortable, would it be a mistake to
turn?

It's always a mistake to do something you don't feel 100% comfortable
with when driving. That said if people are honking at you perhaps you
could try to be more observant of "gaps" in traffic that you could use.
But still if you aren't comfortable and confident in making a maneuver
you shouldn't do it.

The beeps have been more on the friendly side, like a car that forgets
to go on green, but they still have been stressful. I'm from a
smaller town and beeps are reserved for accidents about to happen, so
when someone beeps, I feel the stress of an accident about to happen.
I can desensative myself to it and know that it might just be someone
wanting to save 10 seconds.

If turning right on red is that stressfull, what in the heck do
you do at a stop sign?

This is pretty clearly a troll, as far as I can see.

Yes,if driving is that stressful,then perhaps the poster would be better
off not driving.(and safer for the rest of us)

If you're in a lane for straight ahead OR right turn, then don't use
your directional signal until right before you make the turn.

Considering you're a loonybird, no wonder you find it brilliant. When
are you going to dazzle us with some of your amazing brilliance, fag?
