When you are able to turn right on red, do you?

Asked by erichw1504 (26448points) February 3rd, 2010

You are in your car at a red light. You want to turn right and are able to legally. Do you turn when you are able to or do you wait for the green light?

I ask this because I have observed multiple instances where the driver waits for the green. At one point during my bike ride home from work I am waiting at the corner an intersection. At this corner I notice about ⅓ of the time the driver waits for the green light to turn right. I did not realize so many people did not turn right on red.

What are you observations on this? Do more people turn right on red or wait for the green? Do you always turn right on red? If you wait for the green, why? Is it confidence in yourself, other drivers, or something else?

What are some other choices people make when driving that are different from what you normally do?
