Detroit left turn

A driving maneuver in which a vehicle in a left turn lane immediately turns left once the traffic signal turns green, regardless of whether it is a delayed green.
Passenger- "Look at all those oncoming cars that we'll have to wait for."
Driver- "I say we pull a Detroit left turn once the light turns green."
