Sorry forgot about the left turn problem

[C M Smith <cmsmith@domain.elided>]

Jeez, talk about limits on pontification. Of course there will always be 
the problem of intersection clearing by patient left turners stuck until 
the yellow. BUT, this reinforces the point about stopping if you can. In 
fact, I have to admit a bit of Darwinism here. I always lunge at the yellow 
light runners when I'm waiting to turn left. I always keep my car well out 
of harm's way, but it is amazing the antics displayed by the brain dead as 
they suddenly realize the danger! If all responsible drivers carefully 
observed yellow lights AND indulged in a bit of restrained lunging at 
careless drivers when we're facing a yellow and absolutely entitled to turn 
left and clear the intersection, we might make a bit of progress. BTW, I 
understand that only the suicidal or terminally insane try to beat the 
yellow in Portugal. There the opposing yellow is treated as a green for the 
soon to have right of way drivers!!! Obviously the gene pool is getting 
thinned regularly in Portugal!
