This is absolutely rage inducing. I HATE seeing large gaps between cars at turns like this.

Northbound 14th St SW turning west onto Southland drive is brutal for this. If EVERYONE times their acceleration perfectly, you are lucky to squeeze through 5, maybe 6 cars tops before you have to wait for the next cycle. There is almost always someone who falls asleep now only 2 or 3 get through. This causes the turn lane to fill up which inevitably chokes off one lane of northbound traffic as cars are waiting to get into the turn lane which makes the congestion even worse.

Odd feeling road rage while sitting at your desk.....

Yup.

My favourite is a guy who is in front of you, on purpose slows down just enough as he approaches the light, the light turns yellow, he just gets through while you are stuck at the red light. Speaking of rage...

I hate it when your across from someone at a red light and they are not signalling but turn anyway.

Yikes. Cleaning the windshield after hitting the first person just adds to the crazy. I don't think the washer fluids will get those cracks out.
