The other day, I left one of my local post offices.
There is a lay-by in which you park. Upon leaving the layby, 25 yards to your left is a set of traffic lights. In front of the exit to the lay-by is a large KEEP CLEAR sign on the road.
I wanted to turn right. The lights were on red. A car was around 50m from the lights. I pulled out, thinking that, with the lights being on red, the car was going nowhere and would be happy to let me out.
Wrong.
The car speeded up, then the female driver slammed on her brakes and blasted on the horn, with a vocal accompaniment I cannot repeat.
WHY??
