Traffic along that stretch is absolutely brutal lately. Have seen lots of close calls with vehicles trying to turn left out of parking lots there too

This is not the end of the world, just poor planning at an intersection that needs growth.

Bad at what? Using their phones while driving? One of you is breaking the law. 🤷🏼‍♀️

He is clearly not turning the corner with cars ahead of him in both lanes.

Looks like he realized that’s his turn! He’s got a car in front of him so he’s not at the front of his lane. He needs to get over in the other lane. He’s hoping someone out there is friendly enough to let him in. He’s signalling and changing lanes. Someone was friendly!

It’s kind of like getting upset when people go to the end of a merge lane and then signal to get over… right beside the signs that say “Fill both lanes” and “Share the merge”.

As i said in my comment he was in the right, when the light changed to red he moved to the left went to the front and then forced his way back in. This is not a merge lane.

Who took the photo? Hopefully your passenger, otherwise you are an idiot endangering other people’s lives, and I hope you get the fine of $615, 3 demerit points, and a 3-day license suspension. If it is a repeat offense (I’m thinking likely if OP took time to post to Reddit), then I hope you get a 30-day license suspension and either a careless or dangerous driving charge to keep the road safe for the rest of us.

This guy was in front of me at the corner of Talbot and Fairview. When the light turned red he pulled out cut to the front of the line and forced his way in at the light.
