I will honk after about 2 seconds. Not sure why this makes people mad. You're either on your phone or mesmerized by the green light.

Agreed. Pay attention and GO!

Yes, I will honk.

I also will flash my lights and honk at you if you are too dumb to realize that you are suppose to turn your lights on when it is storming.

stopping like that is a good way to get the back of your car pelted with change

I have a bit more patience...probably more like 5 seconds. The exception is at the Siegen / Airline intersection turning onto Jefferson...you only get a few cars through on each green so no time to waste.

BR is a frustrating place to drive thanks to bastards like you who fall asleep at every red.

Has this increased tenfold over the last couple of years? Put down your phone and pay attention. Farmville can wait.


Of course it's increased.

You must constantly be on your horn then bc nobody turns on their lights when it rains. Even though it's the law to do so.

I hate people that almost come to a complete fricking stop to make a right hand turn.

Just read this whole thread.

I call bullshite on every single person here that says "if I get honked at I will just put it in park and wait a whole cycle"

Good luck doing that when you get a ticket for impeding the flow of traffic or some dude with road rage comes up and bashes your headlights with a tire iron.

I'm a pretty impatient driver. The worst is big rigs on surface streets that have no idea where they're going.

Second is pretty much any woman in a car in BR.

Followed closely by minorities driving anything from the 20th century.

The other day I missed like half a light because I was reading an email. The dude honked. It was in his right to shoot me, I got off light.

I really try to not do that, but it was one of those lights that I was at for like three changes.

I hate people that unnecessarily veer slightly right before turning left. Or vice versa


Eta. I hate everyone on the road. Everyone. You all suck at driving

I have never caused an accident, when I do, this will be the reason.

I only do this if I am pulling a trailer and I need to make a turn into a narrow arse driveway. There really is no other option sometimes, but I agree with you otherwise.

Ive seen this a couple times in this thread, what makes this so bad. Pennies thrown at my tailgate from 10 feet away, left handed, sitting down, with arm sticking out a window just isn't too damn intimidating.
