Red Light does NOT equal blinking yellow arrow ... ugh!
Story: I was riding along minding my own business on one peaceful, yet busy afternoon. I get in the turning lane and wait for the green arrow to come on because it was so busy that no one was going on the blinking yellow arrow. Anyway, green arrow comes on and line starts moving. It turns yellow and then RED LIGHT! The car in front of me apparently did not understand because they barely even moved when the cars went ahead of them and there was a huge gap between them and the car in front of them, which is why they missed the light. But when the light turned RED, this joker moves up to darn near the middle of the intersection! You idiot! So the other cars have to maneuver around him to cross over and turn (there was a bit of construction on the side of us). Then when the arrow flashes yellow, the car in front of me turns immediately. He didn't even take into consideration the line of folks that were about to crash into him because he didn't follow the traffic rules. Man ... that would have been a terrible accident!
Now there was no accident, but I'm going to be honest. His actions did not help my feelings about Asian drivers over here. It's like they get over here and say f* your laws, I'll do what I want. And you can't stop me because I'll pretend as though I don't speak your language. How rude! And yeah I've heard the stories about women drivers, but because I am a woman driver (bus driver, I might add), I disagree that it's ALL women. I do admit that some of my fellow females DO need to just hand over the keys though ... Anyway, I have yet to see a good Asian driver, but I sure hope there's a few and that some day I can drive near them and quit being so disturbed when I see one behind the wheels of a vehicle. Geez!
