Having to let people know the light is green
Posted by Zoo Crawfish on 4/27/22 at 6:44 pm1782
I’d say there are multiple days in the week when I have to honk at someone who has been on their phone while the light has been green for a good 4-6 seconds. Then they look at me like I’m the bad guy. These types of people may be surpassing slow left lane drivers.
Nothing worse than someone who screws you on a light cycle after they wasted 5 seconds of it, and leave you getting stuck again in the turn lane while they are the only one who makes it. It’s becoming too common

High time that the car let the person know or better yet the phone. The future will get here and take care of this. Be patient.

Left onto Clearview from W. Metairie comes to mind.

Maybe they are color challenged

This is the only bad part of it.
I get that you’re embarrassed you got called out, but don’t take it out on me.

I tend to wait until oncoming cars are stopped or real damn close to stopping before I go.
I had a guy blow the horn at me one time when I was waiting for a semi to slow down or stop. The guy blew his horn at me again and then the semi blew through the light and would have clipped us both.

If you have more than a car or two in front of you, odds are one of them will be on the phone and be slow to recognize the green light and start moving.

People use their phones too much when driving. Last week I honked at a guy for not moving on green. The car next to him in the other lane didn't move on green either.

It’s here already. Tesla will chime when a light turns green or a green arrow in you’re in a turn lane.

Half the turn lane light cycles in BR might be less than 10 seconds. Sometimes you are rewarded by making a correct choice of which turn lane to get into if there are two. One lane could have someone on their phone and the other lane can fully make it through if they are paying attention

It's an epidemic. I'd bet people on their phones cause more accidents than drunk drivers these days.

Get a moose catcher bumper and push them out of the way while they read facebook on their iphone.

Their needs to be a technology that will disable a drivers phone for everything except phone calls when they are behind the wheel. What if a driver can be ticketed for using their phone at a traffic light.

You have one job at a red light. Go when it’s green.

I am regressing. I was reading the Ukraine war thread then saw this post and immediately thought you were asking about a jump light.

The other day, the light was green for a little bit, a car was still stopped while a beggar was in the street, yet that car had the gall to get mad at me when I honked. Ridiculous.

In these situations I find it hard to even think about 4-6 seconds. IMO it’s just as bad as people who don’t turn on a yellow arrow they just sit behind the line just to repeat the process next light cycle.

A Tesla will let you know the light is green
