It does. I watched it happen the other day. I was a couple cars back. The car second in line honked at the first one. I even thought “damn they didn’t even have time to move. Calm down.”

It def happens.

I know a fella who will honk like you said, exactly when light switches to green but he will also stop at a green light and get mad when people honk at him.

The 1-2 seconds delay may just save t-bone / life when same over-amped, under-thinker types who act the same way with red lights.

You are right!

Why dont you get your bitch arse out of the car and ask the person honking you fricking pussy


Its because, if you dont go, not everyone will get through the light. People have sh*t to do. Pay more attention.

It should be the default setting that we just all honk when the light turns green these days. They'll be at least one moron in line looking at his phone.

I don’t see why people get upset over the “you’re not paying attention” honk.

We’ve all been on both sides of it and will be again in the future. It just keeps things going.

We drove when we visited NYC several years ago. They absolutely do that there. Hand on the horn, waiting for the light to turn green. We thought it was pretty funny.

Bro was probably getting held up at all the previous lights by people thinking red light = phone scrolling time.

You probably shouldn’t take it personally, phone addicts are so prevalent bro probably honked as a courtesy for them to all pick up their heads and drive again.

I do this, because I live in a suburb full of kept women driving $95k SUVs and a shite load of Asians. The kept women are 100% scrolling, and the Asians are spaced out and just not paying attention. Every. Single. Day. Every. Single. Intersection.

If you at least take your foot off the brake quickly, I won't honk if you drive through the intersection as slow as sloths procreate.

People who honk exactly when the light turns green
Have been asleep at the wheel and not seen the number of vehicles that run red lights and T-bone cars that have a green light.

I give it a couple and check cross traffic bf going. Too many speed through a red right after it’s been red.

When people honk I assume they are drawing my attention to some danger and I slow down.

With the way people don’t pay attention, I’m not taking off as soon as the light turns green. I’m checking to make sure I’m not going to get t-boned when I go.

Maybe they were honking at the vehicle in front of them because they were on their phone, digging around on the floorboards, turned around to beat their kid, etc?

It's not always about you.

Yes it does. In fact the last time that happened to me was in Baton Rouge two years ago. And I reacted by speeding up and letting the idiot change lanes and zoom away. If I would have just thought for one second, I would have slowed down and let him go ballistic. dangit.
