Me too.

Sometimes when I’m in a right turn lane on a red, I don’t feel comfortable making the turn because something is obstructing my view of oncoming traffic or there are pedestrians in or near the intersection. I take the turn when I feel it’s 100% safe to do so, and the car behind me can just chill the fuck out.
