Yes. Yes.
Is there a backstory to this weird poll?

Quiet town? Nah. I hate it. The crack heads keep me entertained though. (this town is dominated by crack cocaine.)

Crack heads are entertaining. Just make sure they don't get weapons! That's how you get shit like the bloods and crips.

Yeah, this one intersection I like I almost always have some asshole almost hit me (pedestrian) because he knows he can turn whenever he wants.
But regardless I like the law because whenever I do drive I hate waiting at lights. Just made me wonder how much this idea is used.

So some places you are not allowed to turn right on red? Weird, I never heard of that... Do they at least post signs so you know?

Yeah I know, but they don't seem to realize they need to yeild as I have right of way. Ah well, I have noticed it's normally people on cell phones
EDIT: Poll doesn't account for emergency situations. (Wife in labor etc.)
Which leads us to:

Driving with a cellphone is like driving with a beer in my eyes. I've had to many family members get in accidents because of it. Meh.

You cannot turn right on red in Montreal and I'm pretty sure (don't quote me on this) most of Quebec.

You can turn right on red anywhere in this state for the most part. Hardly ever is there a sign with no turn on red...

You can always turn right on red here unless otherwise posted.
Usually there is a white sign that says as much, and recently i have seen electric signs next to the traffic lights that will say no right on red in certain parts of the light sequence.
I have also seen street signs that say no right on red between the times of 8am-10am and 4pm-7pm (rush hours), but thats usually only at certain intersections, in cities.
Also i dont like driving while on a cellphone, i usually ignore the call or say ill call back.

Actually, if you are on a one way street, and turning onto another one way street, you can turn LEFT on red as well (assuming thats the correct direction of the one way street you are turning on to).

yeah. right turn on red does NOT mean you can go whenever you want, pedestrians still have the right of way. always. if theres a crosswalk, and i wait 10 mins for the first car to make a turn and i walk out to cross right then, he MUST stop and wait for me to cross.
asshole indeed.
i actually saw something on the news, i think it was out in california, or texas or somewhere over there. wherever it was, they had alot of problems with assholes not yielding to pedestrians, so they had some police hiding down the street and had a plain clothed female officer doing what i just described. waiting for a car to make a turn and then attempting to cross, i think they said in about 3-4 hours of doing this they handed out over 100 warnings and like 20 something citations. she said that there were several people who actually came very close to hitting her. those were the ones to get tickets.
people are just assholes anymore, noone cares about pedestrians. i always stop for them.

and yes i talk while driving, if someone calls me. but im not one of those idiots that cant handle talking and driving, if i had mirror windows, you would never know when i was on the phone or not. and i put no to caring if others do, only because the only time i do care is when the person is driving like an idiot/asshole.

i was jogging one day about a year ago and some asswipe came scary close to hitting me when i was crossing the road. so close that i full force kicked his car and left a dent. he got out screaming "what the fuck this, what the fuck that" and i said "youre fucking lucky that dent was from my foot and not my body you asshole! you came within inches of hitting me, did you not fucking see me? fuck you." and he screamed a bit more and took off. fucking pay attention and shit like that wont happen. either he didnt see me(in that case he must have been doing something VERY distracting while making a turn), or just didnt care and felt like trying to piss me off.

what really pisses me off is seeing the stupid bitches putting makeup on while driving. that is far worse than using a phone. i actually saw a bitch one time putting on makeup and talking to someone on speakerphone while driving in morning rush hour.
makes me so angry i could get out, open her door and smear eyeliner all over her face.
OR how about the idiots trying to eat a bowl of cereal while driving. i mean COME ON. eat a fucking breakfast burrito or a bagel..... not a goddamned bowl of liquid.
