the south and I went out into the intersection while trying to turn left as cars were coming so I could be in a position to take the next gap. He freaked out and said it was against the law to go into the intersection. I told it was not and that if the light is green I can come out into the intersection and wait. It also allows more cars to move forward so they can also make the green if a gap comes. He really did not like that, thought we would be stuck there when the light turned red.
