First, he fails to yield right of way as the sign indicates and then he
obstructs the intersection in a feeble attempt to be "courteous," in
giving you the right of way that you were legally entitled to to begin
with. He's Brain Dead, Jim.....

Just curious, what company was he with (going on the assumption that
his workman's truck had a logo on the door)?

Here's todays for me.... On the edens, 2nd behind a micropassing minivan
with WI plates in the left lane.... finally clear the last vehicle to the
right. Micropasser goes into LLB classification as he fails to move
right. I get past the last vehicle to right and move right and punch it.
The minivan is about a 1/4 mile up ahead. As I near the LLB he flicks on
his single moves over in front of me and slows down. Of course the guy
directly behind him then guns it to get free.

It's times like this that I know the LLBs are purposely blocking people
from passing them.
