From the other side, have you ever been somewhere and just didn't understand what the hell all the locals were doing?
I was in Canada last year, and they had some weird thing where you could sometimes turn left when the light first turns green. But there was no left arrow. The oncoming traffic would sit there waiting for me, and cars behind me would honk to get me to turn left, but there was no left arrow, so I thought the oncoming cars would start at any time and smash me up if I turned. I hesitated just long enought to lose whatever magic opportunity I had, but pulled out anyway, cutting off oncoming traffic and pissing off everyone behind me who got trapped.
I spoke to someone later that day about it, and I think they said there was like a flashing dot or something in the green light that meant I could turn left.
Anyway, I'm usually a good driver, but wasn't that day.
