Motherfucker, if you're at the head of the line, its only common courtesy to shove your phone up your ass, and move! Do you think the light is gonna get greener? The fuck are you doing up there?

Lot of people in this thread thinking the split second the light turns green we need to gun it. Get fucked, I'm not on my phone and you're just an impatient asshole. No one owes you a jack rabbit start. Calm the fuck down and breath.

Do you want me to go the speed limit? Because that's how you get me to go the speed limit.
Same. I was in a hurry till you honked. Now all of a sudden I have all day and nowhere to be.

Do you see this little pedal under your right foot? Just fucking use it and nobody will be honking.

It is the drivers responsibility to ensure the intersection is clear of cars and pedestrians before proceeding. The green light doesn't immediately mean go, they may be waiting for a pedestrian to finish crossing or a car to clear after running a red.

Today one idiot honked me because I actually stopped at a red semaphore.
Have you stopped on the rail tracks by any chance?

This is (or was) a trending meme thing. I would just assume the person honking at me the splitsecond the light changes is just trying to get some SM clout.

i will never understand why us traffic lights go immediately from red to green. you have a whole-ass third light to use for signaling that the light is about to change, so people don't have to floor it due to an unexpected change.
Drivers in the US would start treating that middle light as go and we'd be right back to square one

seems like a pretty good reason for revoking a licence to me

You don't need to "jack rabbit" out, but you shouldn't be moving like a sloth either, every second of delay delays all other cars behind you and reduces overall traffic flow

This is the most car brained take in the entire comment section. If you're one of the drivers that consistently goes 10kmh above the speed limit then fuck you

You don't need to do a lot of enforcement to change that behaviour. And you can do the enforcement with red light cameras

Honk at immediate green warrants a very slooooooow take off. Bonus points if they spin out into a utility pole to get around you.

Ever seen a Japanese sports car go from 0 to 6 in 15 seconds? Honk at me when I'm on the line and the light just turned green and I'll show you

wrote on last edited by [email protected]That's because practically nobody here drives a car with a manual transmission, and the reason for those in Europe is (or originally was) to give drivers notice when they need to get back into gear.
A knock-on consequence of this is that nobody in the US knows how to drive, they just point the wheel vaguely in some direction and mash the skinny pedal. If they don't get the result they wanted, they stomp on the pedal harder. You ought to watch chucklefucks try to drive in the snow, especially those with SUVs and muscle cars with rear wheel drive. People treat the throttle as if it's the "make the car go in the direction I'm looking button" and the rest of us know that's not how it works.

Do you not have yellow lights that tell that they are about to change?
Some intersections you cannot see the cross-traffic signals. Some intersections don't have much cross-traffic to watch, either.
Interesting how you're taking the asshole's side, though.

I live in an area where I think the worst drivers in the US live. I absolutely hate people who honk as soon as the light turns green. You don't know what I can see, you don't know if it is safe to go. Because sometimes it isn't. I've had to learn to still look both ways after the light turns green because almost once a week (and I only drive 2-4 days most weeks) I see someone completely blow the red going 60 in a 45.
I also blame phones for traffic, because it goes the other way too. Why did you miss that green, because 3 people in front of you were on their phones. I usually give a slow 5 count before giving a beep.

In many localities voters have used initiative powers to ban red light cameras and in some jurisdictions red-light camera fines are deemed constitutional violations because the US Constitution requires those accused of crimes to be able to "confront their accuser" in court which is not possible if the accuser is a machine.

That behavior is almost completely dictated by where you live. The safest speed to go while driving is the speed at which the majority of people around you are driving. In my city, that happens to be at least 10 mph above the speed limit.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Red light and/or speed cameras are banned in many parts of the US, because courts have repeatedly ruled that they’re unconstitutional. The constitution’s sixth amendment guarantees the right to argue against your accuser in court. This was originally intended to prevent secret surprise court rulings, which the British used against Americans leading up to and during the revolution; The crown would accuse people of crimes and try them without any notice. When they obviously failed to show up to court, they were found guilty in absentia and arrested.
Regional courts have repeatedly banned the cameras, by ruling that because people can’t argue against an inanimate object, the object can’t accuse people of crimes. Basically, the constitution says you have the right to get your day in court, and some courts have interpreted that to mean the automated cameras violate that right.
