Drives me ****ing crazy, been seeing this a lot more lately.

This is the norm here in Massachusetts, to the point where drivers going straight wait a half-second to punch it in the expectation that the left-turn guy will punch it.
Once everyone learns to accept it, it's really not a bad "rule".
What drives me really crazy are idiots who get hung up in the middle of the intersection after the light has turned red because they HAD to try to squeze through before the light turned. Now the light has turned and they can't go because of the cars in front of them, AND THEY ARE BLOCKING THE CROSS-TRAFFIC.
Congratulations -- YOU are now single-handedly screwing up traffic for everybody at this intersection. Now when the cross-traffic goes they will be more likely to pull your dick move because they're all pissed off that they couldnt' make a light even though they were the fourth car in line because some A-hole screwed up the whole ball of wax.
