ASAP. Nothing pisses me off more than people sitting at a green light in traffic or slow rolling thru.

You live in Baton Rouge as well. You honk your horn at some hoodrat in a Nissan Altima and the EBRP Coroners van would be called out to your location.

2 seconds

You could probably wait less than that. They arent paying attention so they have no idea how long it has been green

Trust me, they’re on them much more than just at red lights when they’re driving.

Ill give it 3-4 seconds, but just a light horn tap.
I learned over the years that Ive been the person in the front that gets distracted for a few seconds plenty of times before.
I don't understand. When you are the distracted one, are you mad or something if someone snaps you out of it? I don't see the argument for not honking immediately - it's like it presumes it's some kind of crazy bad thing to hear a honk.

nah it doesnt bother me at all if someone honks behind me if I was clearly not going. If someone honks half a second after it turns green while I was looking at the light, yeah i will get mad.

You’re assuming that the person that you honk at is always a rational, levelheaded headed person. There’s no guarantee of that. I’ve seen and heard of people losing their shite on people on the roads over much less than honking at them.

I'm giving you a quick 3 count.

And if I see you're looking down at your phone, it may be quicker.

This is Baton Rouge. Traffic SUCKS. We've gotta get moving and get to our allotted 4-6 car lengths once that light changes. lol

about a second. The longer you sit at the front the fewer people that make the light. Traffic is already bad enough without you letting fewer people thru the light because you can't be bothered to go when the light turns green.

What were you doing instead of taking your foot off the brake?


I don't understand why everyone can't take their foot off the brake at the same time. Light turns green, everyone from the first car to the 20th car take you fricking foot off the brake.

Depends on the traffic and length of light as well as the time of day. If it’s a busy light at rush hour, I’m not waiting long at all because the front car being slow might cost several cars behind them a few minutes of a busy day while they wait for the next cycle.

We rented one of the big 26 ft Penske trucks not long ago. Dude in front at the red was looking down at his phone when it turned green. Gave him a little "beep beep" from the horn on the steering wheel.

Nothing.

Above the interior of driver's door is a small air horn wire.

It worked great.

Light goes green
Let foot off brake
Roll forward without hitting accelerator
If I have to hit the brake so I don't hit them then the horn gets hit.


This right here. If I'm first in line at the light, I pretend to be a top fuel driver and try to cut a perfect light

Is it an emergency? Only time it’s supposed to be used. Not an impatient button…
