I’ve made this error, both here in the US and in my home country of Aus.

I have not, but it’s just a matter of time.

KyBu bends the rules, but he doesn’t break them.

I saw a Mustang and expected it to eat something...I was so wrong....

There’s an intersection that I transit every day where it’s very easy to make this mistake. Thankfully, it’s currently torn up and being replaced with a roundabout so I think I made it without screwing up.

You and me both! There must not have been a Cars & Coffee nearby.

I have to say, I nearly did. Once. I caught myself.
The thing that bugs me is:
-I had very little driving experience
-I was distracted talking to a passenger
-It was a wide 90degree intersection, with 2 lanes and 2 turn lanes before the island, and the stop line I started from was well back from the edge.
This person:
-Age, don’t know, but they seemed about middle aged
-Appears to be the only one in the vehicle
-It’s a 2+2 like the one I was at, but the right turn lane splits into a bypass before the intersection so it’s more like a 2+1. It also meets at such an angle that you’re starting past at least the first lane. It’s a tight enough turn as it is, I can’t imagine what I’d have to be doing to turn into those lanes. When you’re the first car in line they’re barely in your peripheral vision.

The worst part is that no one would have seen it coming. Even when driving straight at you, Corollas are invisible. Not quite as invisible as a Suzuki Esteem 4 door, but still stealth.

At least they signaled to get back on the right side of the road.

I’ve done that once. It was night time doe.
LOL that Mustang was eager to go, but tame

There’s one I nearly made the mistake at, but this intersection you have to go out of your way to make the mistake. It’s already a sharp left.

It would have been funny to watch in this case at least. Corolla vs Bus. No matter who wins it’s hilarious.

How do you make these GIFs?

At that point I can’t help wondering if they even noticed, or if they just signalled into the suddenly available right lane.

I nearly did, I have to say... but not at this intersection. This one is already a sharp, off-angle turn and it’s pretty hard to screw up even if you want to.
This guy was pushing the red too. Then he was hesitant. Then he was wrong.

Not sure. I’m guilty of doing that in my younger days. Probably seeing that bus coming head on got their attention.

Probably.

Just a pit lane drive-through. I don’t think they exceeded the pit limits. All good.

EVERYONE is a pedestrian if you try hard enough.

V6 Mustang apparently can’t try hard enough

For all the appalling driving I’ve seen in Houston, I haven’t seen that. I’ll be on the lookout for you though.

I admit that I’ve done this more than once. Once in Ireland (because other side of the road), once in Wyoming. No comments.
