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? |

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. nate |

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. Bernard |

HAHA 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? |
