Was this a yield/left turn issue or are people just having mental lapses and yapping on their phones?

Left turn/yield issue. We stopped to check on one of the drivers. No one hurt. People still don't seem to understand that the cars going straight across have the right-of-way.
My son was aafraid I was going to set off my airbag one day because I hit the horn so hard.

Crossing 98 going south on 283 is like playing chicken... gun it, stutter, gun it, stutter...
It's amazing to me the numbers of self absorbed people who either don't understand left hand turn right of ways... or just think they're too important to abide by the law.
Still... it's better than it was before the light was installed.

I would love to see a deputy sit there for one day and pull over and ticket every one of the idiots that fails to yield R.O.W. Maybe it would have an impact THAT way rather than 2 (or 3) cars being impacted.
EDIT... son just reminded me of the one the other day that I had to blow the horn at that turned in front of me, cell phone to ear and then took other hand off the wheel (while making a left turn!)to flip me off for blowing my horn at him.

I think they need to make those lights have a green turn arrow as it's easy to forget, especially when people are unfamiliar with the area. I've had a couple "oops" moments forgetting that there are folks going straight.

Motivates the desire to attach a GIANT steel blinking Yield-On-Left Shield to the front of my truck!
