The first part of my ride is very rural. Pretty much "country". There is a big intersection that I have to turn left at. I usually cross the very wide road and ride in the wrong direction on the big shoulder so I can turn left. I do this because-In this situation it is much safer. The light will never turn green in the turn lane.

This morning I saw another cyclist entering the intersection coming the opposite way. I decided to go for the turn lane so this other rider didn't have a fit. I ended up having to go through a red light anyway.

Either way I'm pissing somebody off. I'd rather piss off a driver than a cyclist.
