Sound on.



You can bet your ass I'm buying one of these Mickey Mouse pointers.


"Cops saying I'm wrong???"

Spoiler: They were driving the white SUV.



The LEFT turning silver caddy SRX or whatever is wrong… he pointer stick POV driver was not in the wrong - imo.

If Florida, LEFT yields to EVERYTHING even w green arrow (I reference my own ticket court case on this)

No shit. The joke is whoever put the "Cops saying I'm wrong???" on the video was the driver of the non-POV car. There are about a dozen things wrong with that turn attempt (failure to yield, crossing double yellow, etc.)

Unrelated to your video, you mean a person making a left with a green arrow light must yield, in Florida? Or am I interpreting you wrong, what even would be the point of installing a green arrow light signal if it doesn’t dictate definitive right of passage?

I turned on a green light, green turn arrow.

Hit by a one leg redneck going “straight”

I was ticketed and took it to court

Judge ruled I was at fault as I was turning left. I said “even with a left green arrow?” And he said it didn’t matter- raddled off the state statute referencing left always yields and gavel down.

I have used my own case in traffic court lol

It’s why you will see left turn yields to u-turn even w left arrow light signs, as the basis is- left always yields.

so what you are saying is that traffic engineers in florida are fucking retarded?

why the fuck would you even bother installing left turn signals if it wasn't synced up with the rest of the traffic lights to give you a completely clear path?

Desantis just dropped 50 fucking places in the best governor race for allowing this retardation to exist. Literally should be the first thing you overhaul

honestly surprised you don't hear about more fatalities with Florida installing fake out, meaningless traffic lights that run counter to common sense, the laws of every other state, in fact runs the exact opposite to the way the rest of the fucking planet works. In japan the lights are blue instead of green but at least a left turn signal (actually right...cus right hand drive vehicles, doesn't matter...) means you have the right of fucking way because why the fuck else would it even exist?? If you need a "you can turn left, but you need to yield to oncoming traffic" signal its called a STANDARD GREEN LIGHT you stupid fuck why would you even bother installing an extra light just to trick people into getting into head on collisions? It's not like florida has some huge population of people who migrate there seasonally from other states who are used to normal logical traffic laws and who would be extra susceptible to falling for these fake traffic lights?

Seriously of all the "florida man" stories you hear about the dumbest mother fucker is whoever signed off on letting some scammer sell and install fake traffic lights that don't actually mean anything

this whole topic belongs in the other thread because hot damn are my jimmies rustled. How fucking retarded is your state?

Right, I don’t get it, I can get a “Left always yields law”, but then why spend the extra money to install Green Arrow Turn Signals? To catch people who don’t know the retarded rules?

Must be a Florida only thing. Everywhere else in the civilized world, a left green arrow is a protected turn.

Yeah not sure I've ever seen a directional green + green on oncoming traffic. Usually teh green arrow goes away and, depending on the lane, it may have a normal green light indicating you can go but its not your right of way. Either way its a bullshit video cause no way the driver would have been at fault.

The traffic lights in Florida do not give you a green arrow left, while oncoming traffic has a green light forward…

It’s the “who’s at fault in the eyes of the law” and yes its stupid - but it is indeed the letter of the law- that if you have a left green arrow and someone runs the red light straight and hits you - if the judge and cop want to- they can say the left turning yields and is at fault - like they did to me.

If your a cop or even a judge, and there is no evidence except “i had a green” and “i had a green arrow left” even though the one legged redneck was full of it- and this is before dash cams.

Who do you believe? With how the law is, the left is burdened to yield more than the straight. Without proof of anything other than directions traveled. Even if both lights were red. The left yields.

Again… the traffic lights in Florida do not turn green left arrow while oncoming traffic has a green… that is some FoH level silliness there folks.

you stated this as fact then you literally quoted some AI shit that said exactly this so the only silliness is from you making false claims.

Anywhere else on earth "I had a green arrow and turned left" "Nuhh uhh, i had a green light officer.." is met immediately with "Ok one of you is lying lets just check the cams, looks like you ran a red light here is your ticket" you led us to believe that it was possible for the left turn arrow to be green and the opposing traffic could also have a green

Yet another case where a dash cam might have saved you.

While I agree that, at first, it sounded like you were saying that the left arrow was not a protected turn, I understand what happened. There was no evidence or witness in the case saying the dude ran a red light, so the judge had to go with the default rules and uphold the police report (who must not have had any witness corroborating your account). It sucks sometimes, but that's how court is supposed to work.
