So for those that aren't aware, left turn lanes in my area have induction loops embedded into the roads. There will be one at the front near the crosswalk, and another one several car lengths behind. The idea is that if it detects there are lots of cars in the left turn lane, the advanced left turn light will go on. So in order to trick the traffic light into thinking there are a lot of cars lined up in the lane, I deliberately stop far behind the first car, stopping on top of the 2nd induction loop. When the light changes, the advanced left turn light goes on and therefore, allowing me and the car in front to turn left without having to wait.   


Now the thing is, I'm always aware to see if a 3rd car is coming behind me. If so, I just roll up so that way the 3rd car behind me can stop on top of the 2nd induction loop. I try to be considerate like that, and roll up when necessary.

But when I told someone about this "trick", they got offended that I'm cheating the system and cutting the "line", when technically if there isn't a lot of cars in the left turn lane, I shouldn't force a left turn light just so I can go first. That's why they put the induction loops spaced out, and not on the 1st and 2nd car spots for a reason... What are your thoughts? AITA?
