For instance, if you were stopped at a red light at a 4-way intersection about to turn left, and it wasn't a protected turn, and then the light turned green... you obviously have to yield to oncoming traffic that would be going straight.
So, what if you count to three, slowly enter the intersection, and the car that should be accelerating still isn't doing so? If you feel it's safe to proceed in front of the vehicle before it starts accelerating, as you're already well into the intersection and they're still behind the line, would you be completely in the wrong if that car finally decided to accelerate and hit you as you were over 90% completed with your turn?
What exactly DOES it mean to yield? If you feel it's safe, obviously you'll proceed after waiting, but... what if you waited, feel you have enough time to complete the turn even if the car was to begin accelerating as well, but the car going straight presses the pedal to the metal (speeds to the max!) and hits you? o_O
