This has always bothered me, but it seems to be worse these days. I don't know if it's because more people are on cell phones, or there are just more stupid people on the road. The problem is people and the turn arrow. Usually it's the left hand turn arrow. So there I will sit, maybe 3-5 cars back from the intersection. For me to get through the light I am depending on the people infront of me stepping on the gas and making their turn when they get the turn arrow. How is it than more than not only 1-3 people make it through the light and I get stuck? I will sit and watch the turn arrow go green, and then I will wait and not see anyone turning! WTF! MOVE! Finally they slowly start to make their turn, OMG! At this point the light is going yellow, going out, etc. One or two lucky people maybe are able to make it through after the first person. Or the first person will quickly turn and the people behind them slowly start their turn. For example, the turn arrow goes green, the 1st car takes off and is through the intersection and on their way down the other road, meanwhile cunt face in car number two has yet to enter the intersetion! WTF! Moron #2 should have been a few feet behind proper driver #1.
Another problem is the righ turn arrow, a lot of people don't see it! They just sit there thinking they have a red light while the right hand turn arrow is green. "HONK!!! HONK!!!" still they sit, wondering why I'm honking. Really bugs me.
The one good thing is if you just miss the turn and are the 1st car for the next cycle you can just pull way out into the intersection and when the light goes red, and oncoming traffic stops, you can legally finsih your turn since you were in the intersection before the light turned red. Some fools don't realize this and they pull out into the intersection (over the white line) and when the light goes red they don't finish their turn and they just sit there! In some situations this blocks traffic. To make matters worse, some people will pull out real far and other people will be behnd them, also in the intersection, and if they don't go, the other people are also stuck in the intersection cursing at the idiot who didn't finsih their turn so they could also finish their turn.
Learn to drive people!
I want a bumper sticker with a turn arrow on it that says "THIS MEANS TURN NOW!"

I may have seen that type of thing happen once. If i recall what ive seen in the past, car number 2 is many feet away from the white line, moves slowly and then stops completely when the arrow turns yellow.
