To the dude in the old truck: TURN SIGNALS ARE NOT DECORATIONS!

Wow. I didn’t expect this thread to stay alive this long – I thought that with the lolcat it’d sink like a rock like all my other threads. Oh well, live and learn – post about rules of the road, get more responses, post about cat pictures, sink like a rock.

That said, I should have noted what lights exist at the intersection. :smack: I had a green arrow, ergo I was safe to go. And I WAS watching the traffic – that’s why I’m not currently talking to my insurance company about a new bumper.

Both of us were stopped. Truck dude was second back on his side of the intersection, and then when it was his turn, he pulled up to the intersection and paused with the wheels angled to the side rather than straight, so I thought he was waiting for me to go once the pedestrians were safely across, but he zoomed out instead.

**Really Not All That Bright ** has the visualization right.

Mixed messages instead.

Ah, that is different than what you described in the OP. This makes your pitting a lot more understandable.
