How about you use your turn signal and move your ass. If everything is moving as it should, every milimeter of the box should be utilized. Track the movement of the other vehicles and move through. The cumulative time on an 8 hour drive waiting for some local chuckle fucks to finally go is insane.

One should be taking note of order of arrival to know your turn as you approach the intersection. Watch for changing circumstances. And when it is your turn, GO. There are way too many people that pull up to an intersection with absolutely no awareness then sit there way too long while everyone else that arrived after is waiting. Order isn't something negotiated with the other drivers. Take your turn as soon as it is your turn and I suspect there will be less impatient people trying to run you over.

And for fucks sake, pull up to the damn line. If you stop a car length back, then guess what, you still haven't arrived at the intersection and you get no turn.
