Atlanta's Traffic

Everyone is familiar with how horrific ATL traffic is. Few people really know why. Please allow me to enlighten you. The drivers are complete imbeciles. This morning in route to work, I was provided a classic example. Now, in most cities, and I'd like to think they were taught this here, everyone knows that when the light is green and you are turning right, you have the right of way. Well, the idiots here, yield for everyone, including the oncoming traffic which is turning left. IDIOTS! Left turners without the green arrow are supposed to yield to oncoming traffic which includes traffic turning right. Oh, no, these brain children stop and wait for everyone to turn left even when the other lanes continue to pass through the green light, as they should.

This morning some twit did this in front of me. There we sat at the green light waiting for all the left turners, who did not have the green arrow any longer (obviously because we had a green light), I lay on the horn. The dumb heifer still sat there. That is just one of the traffic laws to which Georgians are oblivious. They also do not know how to approach four way stop intersections. They just sit and wait. They do not know what yield means; they apparently think it is Mandarin for stop.

I asked some native Georgians why they are complete idiots on the road. Their response, "We are just courteous." Excuse me! You call nearly killing me or others in a possible head on collision while you stop instead of completing your turn and traffic is still coming in two lanes to your left and waiting behind you, courtesy. Keep your courtesy and your pending charge as an accessory to second degree homicide. Learn the rules of the road and by all means implement them in your daily travels.
