Why do so many drivers stop when they see a Green Arrow light, before making their turn?
Here’s a photo of the signal i’m talking about: https://www.flickr.com/photos/triborough/7036141821
Why do so many people who are turning right in such a situation…. stop first?!? They treat it as a stop sign. They “think” they’re being “cautious”. But they’re some of the most dangerous, stupid drivers there are. Because there’s no practical reason to stop. And no legal reason to stop. And no safety reason to stop.
So why do people stop?
What are they thinking?
Are they scared?
Do they think they’re “supposed” to stop?
How can people be that stupid?
