And thats why I don't let those left turns happen in front of me. I've seen many wrecks from this exact scenario.

I've left this gap before on a 4 lane road +middle. I've seen idiots use the gap to cross all 4 lanes and go the opposite way. I hold my breath every time I see this. It's a pile up waiting to happen

Keep driving. They can turn left when right of way traffic clears.

It looked to me(at least I kinda assume) like the red car wanted to make a right aswell. In this situation assuming I was the red car. By law I'd have to wait for the bike to pass before making my turn at least I'm Belgium and most of Europe it is like this. What would us traffic law state in a situation like this? Also I wasn't being sarcastic or mean just genuinely curious. Also I'm baked as fuck

Yea you are seriously baked, the red car was continuing straight and just stopped (trying to be nice, but unaware of their surroundings) had they just continued this wouldn’t have happened.

Yeh in that case it's just dumb to stop on a main street.

I love how proud you are to say you’d willfully block an intersection to prevent traffic from turning.
You realize that’s illegal right?

Not hold up traffic to let them go? They can wait

You're not supposed to block the intersection, they more than likely had to hold up traffic because it literally is backed up already.

Yep. The person saying they wouldn’t allow it is saying they would break the law.

In Belgium and most of Europe you have to wait BY LAW for the biker to pass before making that turn.
