I give you about 3 seconds. Then you're getting the horn because you were on your phone at the light like a jackass.

I mean seriously, it's not a big ask to not use your phone while you're driving.

It's also the same one that during the red light kept creeping forward like they were at a drag race starting line. Light goes green...nothing. I thought you were in a hurry?

Doesn't everyone else watch the traffic flow of the other lights, the crosswalks, all the other signs something is about to change? I guess not.

Exactly. Know what's going on around you.

I still tend to wait a couple seconds as I double check some other doofus isn't running the red.

Someone didn't stop at their red light and would have t-boned me if I didn't stop early in the middle of the intersection. (Intersection was clear before I entered.) I got honked at by the person behind me.

Like... Chill, it's going to take a few seconds to maneuver around this nonstandard traffic situation.

A couple of years ago, I had some worn bushings on the stick-shifter of a manual transmission truck that made it hard to put into first gear from a stop.

I'm sure everyone thought I was some dumb jerk on their phone. 😐
