eric3579says...Liquor, guns and fireworks! God bless America.
demon_ixsays...Add a cheeseburger and you'll never have to stop anywhere else again!
Lannsays...I just passed a drive thru like that on the Tennessee/Kentucky border.
rougysays...Ha...ha....
ha....
Spend a week with the bastards, Craigy boy.
mxxconsays...and that's why America is the worst country in the world
dan00108says...Americans can keep it all.
sanderbossays...I learn something new everyday.
Americans, how does the 'turn right on red light' work? If I got a green light and drive straight across a crossing, I still have watch out for people coming in my lane making a right turn?
I actually did that as a kid on my bike in the Netherlands (breaking the law doing so, but thinking there was no harm), until I did a summer job assisting on a delivery truck (a big delivery truck), and the driver explaining to me (500 times, once for each bicycle we encountered) that he thought it was the most dangerous thing there was in traffic. And that was with a narrow bike, not a wide car.

If you're the one turning, you basically treat it like a stop sign. You stop, look left, and then make your turn if it's clear. You still have to stop at the red light, you just don't have to wait for green to turn. Certain intersections will have a "No Turn on Red" sign, usually hung next to the traffic light. Usually you see these where you'd be turning into fast-moving traffic or where you can't see far enough to the left to make a safe judgment.

Xaxsays...Aside from the liquor, guns, and fireworks drive-thrus (as far as I know), we have everything else in Canada as well. I'm not sure we're missing out.
Kruposays...I'm assuming sanderbos' confusion stems from the "car on the right hand street ALWAYS has the right of way (unless otherwise signed)" rule, which would in theory force a Euro-driver to slam the brakes for cars entering from a side road. xxovercastxx explains things nicely though, but I wanted to kick that in.

deathcowsays...note that most people do not stop for right on red, though it is required
ReverendTedsays...I can't say I've ever seen a Drive-Through Beer Barn that sold guns, and I live in Texas, that most American of States. Since most of them also sell cigarettes and chew, such a mythical establishment would complete the illustrious ATF Trifecta.
Kruposays...Ugh, I would edit fix that broken quoted text, but the "cement" has already set. We should really extend the time-out on that.
