Stupid Pet Peeves

Page 15 covers the rule about not changing lanes in an intersection, or when approaching an intersection within 100ft.
These people are the most unsafe drivers on the interstate. They are not generally a risk for being in an accident their self, but they cause the system to break down and there are several unsafe situations that they cause in their wake.
The worst part is how entitled so many of them feel. They think they have been deputized into the ****ing highway patrol and they are showing you how fast you should drive.
Yep, I, for one, listed both of these in a mini rant.
Fully agree its not a good idea to change lanes and the book does cover some of that. Here is the law (stuff applicable) if you or anyone is interested since the handbook is how to do things not what the law is necessarily. Its a bad idea to change lanes in intersection but not illegal unless it is unsafe to do so or a no passing zone. But the same laws apply as not in intersection that you have to make sure the lane is clear and safe to change into.
41-6a-305. Traffic-control signal -- At intersections -- At place other than intersection -- Color of light signal -- Inoperative traffic-control signals.
(1) (a) Green, red, and yellow are the only colors that may be used in a traffic-control signal, except for a:
(i) pedestrian traffic-control signal that may use white and orange; and
(ii) rail vehicle that may use white.
(b) Traffic-control signals apply to the operator of a vehicle and to a pedestrian as provided in this section.
(2) (a) (i) Except as provided in Subsection (2)(a)(ii), the operator of a vehicle facing a circular green signal may:
(A) proceed straight through the intersection;
(B) turn right; or
(C) turn left.
(ii) The operator of a vehicle facing a circular green signal, including an operator turning right or left:
(A) shall yield the right-of-way to other vehicles and to pedestrians lawfully within the intersection or an adjacent crosswalk at the time the signal is exhibited; and
(B) may not turn right or left if a sign at the intersection prohibits the turn.
(b) The operator of a vehicle facing a green arrow signal shown alone or in combination with another indication:
(i) may cautiously enter the intersection only to make the movement indicated by the arrow or other indication shown at the same time; and
(ii) shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians lawfully within an adjacent crosswalk and to other traffic lawfully using the intersection.
(c) Unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian traffic-control signal under Section 41-6a-306, a pedestrian facing any green signal other than a green turn arrow may proceed across the roadway within any marked or unmarked crosswalk.
41-6a-710. Roadway divided into marked lanes -- Provisions -- Traffic-control devices.
On a roadway divided into two or more clearly marked lanes for traffic the following provisions apply:
(1) (a) A person operating a vehicle:
(i) shall keep the vehicle as nearly as practical entirely within a single lane; and
(ii) may not move the vehicle from the lane until the operator has reasonably determined the movement can be made safely.
(b) A determination under Subsection (1)(a)(ii) is reasonable if a reasonable person acting under the same conditions and having regard for actual and potential hazards then existing would determine that the movement could be made safely.
41-6a-804. Turning or changing lanes -- Safety -- Signals -- Stopping or sudden decrease in speed -- Signal flashing -- Where prohibited.
(1) (a) A person may not turn a vehicle or move right or left on a roadway or change lanes until:
(i) the movement can be made with reasonable safety; and
(ii) an appropriate signal has been given as provided under this section.
(b) A signal of intention to turn right or left or to change lanes shall be given continuously for at least the last two seconds preceding the beginning of the movement.
41-6a-708. Signs and markings on roadway -- No-passing zones -- Exceptions.
(1)
(a) A highway authority may designate no-passing zones on any portion of a highway under its jurisdiction if the highway authority determines passing is especially hazardous.
(b) A highway authority shall designate a no-passing zone under Subsection (1)(a) by placing appropriate traffic-control devices on the highway.

Double pet peeve post.
I was eating at a sandwich shop with my 8 yr old and my 18 month old. 18 month old, who is prone to throwing fits to get what he wants, throws a fit since I want him to sit down and eat.
Now I'm in a spot. Do I let the kid scream and bother everyone else in the shop or do I force my hand and put him in his spot? I decided to cover his screaming mouth and hold him tight until he gave up.
This ******* confronts me telling me I'm choking my child. I chuckle a little and responded that my kid has a nose. Like I'm trying to choke my child, or not monitoring his breathing.
The guy went ballistic and stormed off.
What the hell is wrong with society?

More importantly, did your smothering help pacify the little **** to the point that once you took your hand off, he was chill?
