I have a real nice one for you today. Actually it was an incident worthy of filming and putting on the internet. But sadly I neither had the camera with me, nor did I foresee the development of the situation.
Just outside town we have a four-way crossing with lights, which is heavily frequented, since it's connecting two of the major roads going in and out of town.
So I came to that crossing and wanted to turn left and stopped at the red light. I was the first car and had a perfect view on the opposite side. While I waited, I saw that an elderly driver of an E-Class Mercedes, who stopped at the opposite left turn lane, obviously changed his mind and wanted to go straight ahead instead.
So he inched his way over to the other lane, forcing himself in front of the first car there, which wasn't able to back up. The E-Class therefore stood on two lanes at the same time at a 45 degree angle, waiting for the green light.
While I was still having red, the opposite side got green.
Only the Mercedes didn't move. Obviously he had inched his way so much forward, that he couldn't spot the lights anymore.
Then the honking began.
First the car behind him, then another, and another, and finally a bus that was on 4th position.
The Mercedes did not move.
The honking went louder and more furious and the bus driver was making wild gestures.
The Mercedes did not move.
Now, the phases on that crossing are particularly long -- about 1 minute for each direction. So there was 1 minute of constant honking.
But the Mercedes driver did not move.
Finally the light turned red again for them and I was getting green. I was accelerating carefully, just in case the Mercedes driver decided to step on the accelerator now. But he didn't.
Before I left the crossing behind, I saw a red-faced bus driver jump out of his bus, running to the Mercedes, and starting to yell at the driver.
Unfortunately I missed the ending of this drama but I want to believe they made him move at the next green phase 2 minutes later
