The following is from the in-class writing assignment: I hate it when people waste my time when they are in the right-hand lane about to turn right at a red light. It never fails that when someone is in front of me in the turn lane at a red light, they sit there until the light turns green before they even try to turn. I am usually a relatively calm driver, but when the car in front of me wastes my time by sitting in the right turn lane at a red light, I go crazy. There are those few occasions where there is a sign that says "no right turn on red", but 99% of the time no sign is present, and in Utah it is legal to turn on a red. It annoys me so much when people just sit there and waste my time. I often think terrible thoughts about the individuals, mostly concerning their complete and utter lack of consideration for others and their severe incompetence when it comes to driving. I feel that it should be illegal to sit in the right turn lane at a red light and not be aggressively trying to make the turn between traffic.

Ironically enough, on my way home the day I wrote this, the car in front of me stopped at the red light at the first intersection where I was turning right and just sat there until the light turned green, even though there was no cross traffic.
