    I remember when I was first learning how to drive and was driving with an instructor...almost plowed into some people in a crosswalk while attempting to turn right on red (instructor saw it coming and used the instructor brake pedal before I even initiated the turn). Scared me shitless, and you best believe I learned my lesson.

    But this is an easily predictable outcome. You've got a situation where the person turning right is going to be looking 180° in the opposite direction to the pedestrians/cyclists crossing to their right because the driver doesn't want someone to plow into them. Completely stupid thing to allow, especially in cities.
