How often does this happen?

Sounds like you’re one of those idiots who’s on their phone during a red light and needs the car behind you to provide a wake up call.

I’ve had this happen at least a few times. Each time it was because someone was in the crosswalk they couldn’t see and thought I was just being a dumbass.

Eh, I've seen it happen too, more than once. To be staring at the traffic light behind a line of cars and hear someone in front honk immediately when the light turned green. It is ridiculous.

This meme is about you, isn't it?

I missed the change of the first traffic light I stopped at when I had just bought my first car, I had stopped so the light was hidden behind my rearview mirror, got a deserved honk

Why didn't you move your head?

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 17 hours ago

What part of "first car" confuses you?

Sorry, I thought it was clear that it was an unfamiliar situation as a new driver, the lights was in a slightly unusual configuration so I didn't see the light as I pulled up and thus never realized that I needed to shift my head to see it.

Yup. Every time I see a post like this I know exactly who it is.

It happens a lot in NYC. The couple times I took an Uber somewhere instead of the subway, the driver seemed to always be on the horn.

My wife is this person, she grew up in Texas and it shows. She has alot of bad driving habits thay drive me nuts. Most Texans are like this in my experience.

Come to India and you'll see it everywhere.

If they're stopping at red light in the first place, that is.
