It also amazes me that so many people are unaware of simple laws that come in to play every day.  First of all, let me make clear - I'm not some law and order guy.  Like Ana, I've been known to bust them now and then!  But I'm aware of what I'm doing and I realize the potential consequences.  So my peeve here is not about people who break the law but those who clearly don't KNOW the law.

Prime example.  Making a left turn at an intersection controlled by a left turn arrow.  The arrow goes off (not to red, just OFF) and the car in front of you stops behind the restraining line and refuses to pull into the intersection to make their left turn when safe.  If this is YOU please note - it is legal to proceed after the arrow goes off UNLESS there is a sign which states "left turn on arrow only" or the arrow doesn't just go "off" but a red light replaces it.  Please make your fucking turn.  Please.

It's another day in paradise...
