Seems sometimes I am coming to an intersection, and just about there. I see other cars, and they are waiting at the red light.

Well, just when I GET THERE IT TURNS RED! They get a green light, and cut me off! Why should I need to stop? I was almost there! I was just about to go through the intersection, but my light turned red, and their light turned green!

I just feel like flipping them off because if you ask me, it just isn't fair I need to stop when I was driving along and ALMOST to the intersection.

I wish there was something that could be done about this.

Christ! It's only a few traffic lights, not the end of the frickin' world.

Just rise above it. You've learnt your lesson about obeying the traffic laws now. There's no need to sink down to their level by trying to single other drivers out in the forums for public humiliation. In fact, it's quite hypocritical for you to complain about vindictive drivers when you go trawling through their traffic light etiquette to try and name and shame them.

It's worse when it becomes a permanent red light and you just have to do a three-point turn and go find another road altogether.

Or maybe you meant it literally.

I have a power over traffic lights. When I see them go red I close my eyes and focus my power on turning them green - suddenly I find myself moving again with almost no time elapsing.

N.B. Works best if someone else is driving.

Obtain one of those electronic infa-red signalling devices fire trucks use to turn a light from red to green, and you'll never have to deal with a red light again!! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ™‚

I have that same dream all the time. Except in mine, I'm not wearing pants and I'm riding a tandem bike with a zebra.

Don't know about all that, but four way stops really pound home the fact that 9 in 10 drivers are retarded.

I take it you are talking about the 4 way Stop Sign intersection that no one realizes the guy on your right who was there longer has the right of way.

You have any rotaries (round abouts)? My God, people are idiots!
