Just imagine that you're on a narrow 2 lane road that goes into a subdivision. You're behind a beige Corolla at the stop light and the road that intersects is Burnhamthorpe (6 lanes wide around the City Centre area) and cars are zipping by. The Corolla in front of you suddenly goes on the red light and suddenly stops right in the middle of the intersection. In prime position to get side swiped by dozens of cars coming towards her on her left.
That's insane!
I'm well aware of right hand turning drivers. They only look to their left and never notice you. I usually let them do their right turn first and then proceed.
