People slowing down on on ramps bother me. Much like Phanuthier and Shawnski... I really really don't like it when I see brake lights on throughout the entire turn. Please ACCELERATE when you begin to straighten out your car.
Today, during rush hour, I wanted to make a turn out of 14th Avenue onto Southbound Center street (right turn)... the driver in front of me was signalling left, but he is right up against the curb, so I can't turn right. The traffic clears up, for Northbound Center St. (3 lane traffic going north) still doesn't turn, waited a bit longer... still doesn't turn. Finally he signals to turn right... no traffic, doesn't turn... waited, still no traffic, so I said: I've had enough. I hit the horn and he finally turned (and there was still no traffic going south).
I don't get why he was right up against the right curb when he was turning left. If you're turning left and the road's wide enough for at least 3 cars to fit, leave some room so people turning right can get by you!
