Must you stop to turn?
The thread on passing in a residential area got me to thinking about the activity I hate the most when I'm following someone.
Please, for the love of (insert deity here) don't come to an almost complete stop to make a right hand turn into a street or parking lot. I'm closing on you at 25 - 30 MPH. If you continue to roll through the turn we are all good. I know you have to slow down but don't insist on coming to an almost complete stop so you don't subject your passengers to > .3 G cornering forces!
I fell better...

I will from time to time take turns slow if I'm carrying something in the vehicle that could be damaged or upset by a fast turn, however when I do I put my blinker on well in advance of the turn so people can let off the gas pedal and as long as they weren't already riding my butt and they let off the gas immediately, they still won't even have to hit their brakes.
But generally speaking I take turns fast enough to annoy my wife.

what happens at a busy intersection?
you don't stop?
you're a reckless driver if you turn into a parking lot at 30 mph.
if i'm gonna stop to turn into a parking lot, at least i signal and warn the car behind me...... so that he can swerve out of the way and cause an accident somewhere else.
Please, for the love of (insert deity here), don't endanger the lives of other drivers.

Yeah sorry, I can't co-sign this one. If I've got my turn signal on before the turn, I'll turn at whatever speed I need to and could care less who's behind. I ride 2-3 inches off the ground in NYC, no way I'm taking a corner at speed without knowing what's around the bend...
You hit it, you bought it.

I stop, or slow down to an almost complete stop when turning into an incline of a parking lot. Don't want to scrape that pretty body kit.
I hate it when the person behind me wants to take me out when I'm doing this.
Like they say, "Do you ever notice that when you're driving, anyone going slower than you is an idiot and everyone driving faster than you is a maniac?"

Not sure about other states, but in CA if you don't make a complete stop before right turn, at least on red/yellow light or at stop sign, you get a ticket. Two of my friends and my dad got ticketed several times for this.

Either way, if you see me slowing down to turn, you slow down too... Nuff said. Curse me out when you pass but do after you say how nice my azz looks...
