Broke a HUGE driving sin...., oops Options

Okay

Im sure most of ya know, but for those who dont, Im 16 and Im a beginner driver... So be nice to me okay? lol

Okay, I was driving into into the next city over from where I live (Issaquah for those who live in the Washington area) and I pull off the freeway, and turn into town...

Well tonight, it was VERY busy. Jammed packed of cars, and I'm still getting use to how the ways of the road work. So Im not too use to traffic quite yet. Anyways, the light turns green so Im like "Okay cool, I'll get outa this mess pretty quick...." I was very wrong...

Well it turned out, there as a ramp from cars getting off the freeway starting to pile in the lane I was in... Well, here's me goin along slowly up to the light, not seeing more cars merge into my lane cuz of some huge truck in front of me, and I get to the light, its still green... So I follow behind the truck, not really thinking much cuz the light was green and then sudenly the line comes to a hault, where I was blocking a good portion of the intersection.

Then the light goes yellow, then red. I was like. "S#%T!" and then the lane Im blocking suddenly turns green. It was madness! People were layin on their horns, rolling down their windows showing the finger.... I WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOO EMBBARASSED!

Even after I got outa everyone's way, people where still honking at me. And for some reason, the guy behind me was totally riding my bumper layin on his horn.... And I wasn't even blocking his lane! What the hell?!? LOL

I know I messed up big time... But be nice to me, Im still learning This is the first time Ive done this so its not like I do it ll the time. LOL

I feel pretty stupid right now....

Have any of you ever done this? Or if someone like me has blocked the lane you were in, how did you react?

no worries, esp if youre a begingin driver. Weve all done it one time or another. It happened all the time when i drive in downtown Chicago. People, mostly cabs, block the intersection all the time and people honk... but also just find a path around them as they are honking.

The first time i was yelled at by a cop because of it was when i was here in the U district (for all you seattle folks) and i wasnt even blocking the intersection, just the crosswalk area!!
