    There’s a movie called Unhinged where someone honks for too long at Russell Crowe’s character and the rest of the movie is him angrily chasing the main character. It’s absolutely hilariously unrealistic and it’s super fun to laugh at.

    Something tells me it was longer than 0.74 seconds. And typically the person that suffers the consequences of the lead car not paying attention is the cars further back sitting through another light cycle because you can’t put down candy crush while driving

      After the light turns green I take a couple seconds to scan left, right, and left before pulling out. I’m looking for last second red light runners. Saved me a couple times. Yep takes a couple seconds, no won’t stop doing it. Most traffic safety courses advise this behavior.

        Distracted drivers are so bad in my town I preemptively honk when the light turns green so we can get more than 4 cars through a 30 second light cycle.

        If the guy directly in front of me wants to take it personally, that’s just fine, lol.
