Best thing to do is just wait for yellow if it's busy, or if you can actually see then just go when clear.

I've almosted t-boned some lady in her new mercedes her husband bought her.
How do you know her husband bought it for her? Did you guys have a coffee after then go for a photoshoot?

lol..

Just another small rant, but about right-turning.

You know when you're in a small road heading up to main intersection, and there's 2 lanes--one for left turns, and one for going straight/turning right. Sometimes when there's a truck or SUV on the left lane, it blocks my vision so I would not proceed to turn right.

Sometimes, these assholes behind honk like no tomorrow when clearly I'm not able to get a clear view to turn right. What if I turn blindly and a car is coming? geeeeeeeeeeeez....

semi related to your rant, i also hate it when those truck or suv's stop so far up into the pedestrian crossing causing us to inch up even further to see...

also when turning right, a cyclist stops his fucking bicycle right out into the intersection so i cant turn right...

Agreed! The people who honk at me can pass me IF they're able to.

i totally agree. I go as far as i can to the left without being in the way. If i still can't see 100%, i wait until i can or until it's a yellow. Too many people are pressured by the cars behind them to go asap and end up crashing...seen it all too often!
