Get off the phone you fucking imbecil. Stop making people's days any worse than they need to be.
Do you not understand what, "the second the light turns green" means?
That phrase tends to be much less literal when its said by those who are getting honked at regularly to move off from the lights.
If someone is telling you they get honked at all the time for no reason there usually is a reason (or several) and they just refuse to acknowledge what they're doing.
Do you not have yellow lights that tell that they are about to change?
Not in Canada and I believe also not in the US. The yellow only comes before red, not before green.
Here it's red, green, yellow, red, green, yellow...
That...makes so much sense.
Not the one you commented to, but not where I drive.
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.
Could say the same about you. Stop wasting time for other people. Have some decency.
It's natural to take a second before taking off, either unintentionally or intentionally due to safety. Maybe leave on time to account for those extra few seconds that they are holding you up.
It's not only natural, it's a good idea. Especially if you are crossing a large road.
I ride a motorcycle more often than not (see user name) and it's vital to ensure that the cross traffic is actually stopping when their light is red. You aren't "protected" because your light is green, and there's nothing physically stopping any asshole blowing the light and ramming into the side of you, probably without slowing down in the slightest first. That's because they're also staring at their phone. I can't even go a week anymore without watching some moron sail straight through a red light right in front of me such that if I hadn't spotted them first they would have run me over. And it's happening more and more often as drivers are more distracted than ever before. A couple of years ago I'd only see this sort of thing once every few months.
