Massachusetts left

At an intersection unregulated by a traffic light, making a left turn by pulling halfway out into the road to block oncoming traffic while waiting for a gap in the other lane.

So common in Massachusetts that drivers will stop and wait for a left-turner, even when they have the right of way.

- You're pretty late today.

- Yeah, I got stopped by like four people making Massachusetts lefts.
