You forgot the 'grab a crowbar' part.
If you get out of your car to confront everyone who honks at you, you’re eventually going to meet an even bigger asshole with a gun.

Today one idiot honked me because I actually stopped at a red semaphore.

While it is rude to honk immediately when the light turns green, it is also true that taking too long to accelerate when the light changes severely reduces traffic flow and causes congestion. And this is commonly caused by distracted drivers. You are supposed to release your brake and begin moving at roughly the same time as the car in front of you, i.e. when the car in front of you turns off their brake lights or when the traffic signal turns green if you're in the front.
Edit: "Too long" realistically means anything more than half a second. If everyone's reaction time was one second it would reduce the number of cars per green light probably by half. That doesn't mean it's polite to honk after half a second but if your reaction time is that bad you should not be driving.

Do you not understand what, "the second the light turns green" means?
Do you not have yellow lights that tell that they are about to change?

Never happened to me before. Light goes green and I go. Why is driving so difficult for people

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.

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.

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.

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.
