I do stop only because I'm still learning how to turn correctly and watch my mirrors so I don't take out light poles...
can tractor trailers make a right turn on red?

I was making between 1000.00 and 1100.00 a week (long days, lol). So needless to say,.. -
Pretty sad pay considering how much most of them charge. Seems to me like it could be a lucrative business

In my personal vehicle tonight, and a carload of very loud and impatient teens pulled up behind me. Wanted me to turn left on a red light for left turns...
First the driver started waving, motioning to turn. Then the passenger started. Pretty sure a middle finger was in there. And then the 3-4 people in the back seat of this car started to join in. ...arms were flailing everywhere out of the window. I just sat there, waited for the turn light to turn green; smirking all the while knowing they'd have to wait.
Well... Patience is a virtue.
And not just local drivers need that, I have to deal with rights on red daily since most of my routes take me in and out of malls, shopping centers and the like. (OTR drivers also need it, though perhaps not as much.) Granted, most of my ROR's take place at 3-4am, so there's not much practice with traffic. -

'olhand Thanks this.

they lied about a lot of things
this is one of them, its just safer for newbies (i guess) not to make turn on red because they misjudge the speed of oncoming traffic
