Math Quiz for the OT" Making the “green light” vs getting "caught at the red light"

Does it seems you spend more time at red light than "making the green light" on the way to work, shopping school?
The questions is: How often, as a percentage, will I “make the green light” without waiting for the red light in a 4 week period?
The variables are as follows:
• The speed limit is 60 MPH
• My car takes 5 seconds to get to 60 MPH
• I always drive the speed limit
• It is exactly 2 miles to the stop light at the intersection of 2 roads (E/W & N/S)
• My office is 5 miles from home.
• The stop light stays green for exactly 55 seconds and yellow for exactly 5 seconds
• Once a light turns yellow, I stop at the light. (I never run a red light)
• I work five days a week
• My work schedule is 8:00AM to 5:00PM
• I leave for work at random times but no later than ten minutes before my shift starts
Again, how many times will I get to work without stopping until I arrive at the job site in a 4 week period?

You're doing it wrong. It's legal to cross the stop bar when the signal is yellow.

so you live on a road where the speed limit is 60mph?
am i to assume you don't back out your driveway?
Am i also to assume there's never any traffic?
doesn't matter. I'm not doing your dumbass homework.

All this extraneous information makes me suspicious

mmm...good question, in fact it might be the most important factor?

I already finished all my math classes needed for my degree I don't need this shite

same. I still don't understand how the speed limit can be 65

this is dangerous as hell to the people behind you and far more of an issue than proceeding through the yellow.

Bro. I don’t come to Tigerdroppings to think. I come here to shite on pit bulls, travel ball, Carnival cruises, and OweO.

I tried to leverage my company to get me a vehicle worth a shite b/c of this, but it didn't work.
Told them it's unsafe for me to have to try to get across the two lanes of traffic going 65 with the 4 cylinder piece of shite jeep they gave us. I was slightly joking, but it really made a big difference in when i thought it was safe to go across driving that vehicle compared to my wifes Highlander that actually has pickup.
It's amazing there aren't more wrecks at my neighborhoods entrance on airline. Similar to that neighborhood across the river that always had accidents going across LA1 before they put a light up.
