Try not to be dumb!

From the sublime to the ridiculous: I'm going to write about left turns today.
As time rolls on, I have noticed people turning left in front of traffic much more often nowadays than in, say, the 60s. Everyone is waiting for a red light to turn green, and just as it does, some baloney-brain turns left quickly, ahead of the oncoming traffic, which has the right of way. (Some people call this move a "Cleveland Left" - I have never been to Cleveland and don't know - does this happen there all the time?)
The first few dozen times I saw this snotty, aggressive, anti-social* maneuver carried out, I thought it came purely from an excess of aggression and that evil me-first attitude which has infected Generations X and Y so badly. But later I started to wonder . . . .omigosh, some of these airbrained, wrong-headed, lousy-driving equines may actually think left turns have the right of way! and if they do think this, they think it because of intersections with fancy, complicated light arrays which DO allow left turns to go first.
Why are large, complex intersections sometimes set up like that? Because, my child, there is so much traffic there that if people had to wait for it to be gone before turning left, as standard traffic conventions dictate, they would never get to turn until the middle of the night.
Does that give left turns the right of way at other intersections? NO! NO! NO!
Try not to be dumb!
If you are just doing it (a Cleveland Left) to beat everyone else in traffic and laugh at them, I have nothing to say to you, and nothing I might say would make any difference anyway.
Because you probably don't read.

*I consider any act anti-social which is aggressive and which endangers others, especially if done for one's own convenience and with disregard for the needs of others.
