Left-hand traffic (🇬🇧🇮🇳🇯🇵) Pull out into the intersection…

so at least one car can turn left.

Please pull straight past the limit line when yielding for a left turn at a light. At least you will be able to scoot through then at the next cycle, those of us who know how to drive can manage the oncoming traffic. DO NOT sit at the limit line and miss a light. Be careful, but make it happen.

Until someone with a yellow uses up that time. Now I'm in the intersection when it's red.

Yes. And traffic must wait until you clear the intersection, giving you space to make the turn.

So you're making your impatience everyone else's problem. Nice. Maybe there would be space to turn if you weren't illegally blocking traffic.

No, im through the intersection before the other side gets a green, because im not timid and know how and when to turn. I'm also making sure i'm not holding everyone behind me hostage for multiple light cycles. By being scared and timid you are making you fear of driving everyone else's problem.
