MODERATORS
Sometimes when you drive and think you will be able to proceed but something happens that you have to stop and sometimes that's over a crosswalk. That happen. Some car or motorcycle might drive fast or they might run a red light, or three could just be an error that keeps you from proceeding.
This is not something to get upset about. It can happen for many reasons.
It is the law in most places to not enter the intersection unless you can clear it. So blocking the intersection is 99% of the time the driver's fault.
Part of the issue is, a lot of intersections don’t have great visibility at the original stop position. People pull forward to make sure their turn will be safe.
Certainly plenty of them are doing it out of impatience, and they deserve some flak.
If an intersection has that poor of visbility, it should be rebuilt to a safer standard.
99%? Source?
My point was that it's usually not malicious, definitely not to warrant walking over someones car.
