That feels like an argument for why red light timers for cars might be a bad idea.
Like, you can understand the intent - by giving extra information, drivers know how long they have to wait and so won't get as annoyed - but that same extra information encourages drivers to take risks, and start moving even earlier than they would with just a simple red/amber/green
Is physical violence common on RuPaul's show?🤔
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.
Today one idiot honked me because I actually stopped at a red semaphore.
train driver?
Have you stopped on the rail tracks by any chance?
No, but he should have.
That's me. My friend was in front of me.
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?
Put on the handbrake, get out of the car, and calmly ask them what the problem is.
You forgot the 'grab a crowbar' part.
👌👍🤣 internet tough guy. Both of you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Depending on where you are in the US, this could literally get you shot.
I'm not in the US
Or just drive off. If you rise to every barb, you’re almost definitely going to end up with a severely painful, chronic erection. Getting shot or run over is also on the table.
