Two drivers facing one-another in the left turn lane. Both drivers have a green light.

In the case of a Polish Standoff, both drivers are unable to turn left because they're both patiently waiting for the other one to go first. Inevitably results in noone going anywhere until the next time the light turns green.
I can't believe that we're all going to sit through another light cycle because those two fucktards got stuck in a Polish Standoff.
