Just yesterday I had a driver in front of me pull into a busy intersection while waiting to make a left. When the light went yellow he just sat there right in the middle of the intersection. It went red and still he just stayed right in the middle while people honked and tired to go around him.... What a moron.

I wouldn't be so quick to judge that person. We once were driven up to Los Angeles by a friend who had spent basically his whole life in San Diego. By the time he learned to drive, San Diego, like Orange County, had left turn arrows at 99.99999% of its intersections. So when our poor friend, in the middle of West LA, had to make a left turn on a busy street with no left turn arrow...he was utterly lost. "But, the cars just keep coming. If I move into the intersetcion, I'll get stuck there when the light turns red!" Fortunately for him, we were in the car to coach him through it. Otherwise, he likely would have been that guy. He had simply never been trained how to handle that kind of intersection.
