IPvSH6T posted:im trying to think where that sign would make sense that wouldnt be better served with a stop sign i have encountered exactly one intersection in pittsburgh where you can do this. except you just end up stopped at another red light ten feet past that one  if the first light is red then so is the second. the way the light works, it's impossible to save more than like five seconds by turning left on red there. yet people do it

i took my driving test in florida and you literally never leave the dmv parking lot. if you want to know why florida drivers all suck it's becuase they're old, but also because that

dmv questions come in four kinds: poorly-worded questions with multiple answers ridiculously precise questions about mandatory signaling/following distances questions with obvious right answers that are impossible to obey in reality because of other drivers questions about rules that change between states, like whether you can turn left on red between one-way streets the last are actually important to know, except you also need to know the answer for nearby states you're likely to visit, and that's never on the test
