re: People who honk exactly when the light turns green

The people behind you want to make it through that light cycle, too.

Depends on the light, IMO.

Some lights only let 2 or 3 cars go and if it turns green and the brake lights dont let up, I'm honking my arse off. Drivers are retarded now...

I had to poop. Get your shitbox in gear.

I get frustrated sitting through multiple light cycles because the first couple cars in line don’t move when light is green or they just barely crawl through the light.

I think the reality is that driving is not treated as an active task by like 80% of drivers. They are basically half asleep out there. For those of us that DO treat it correctly, it's easy to pull your hair out. My biggest pet peeve at present (other than the perpetual people never staying right) is people staying so far back from the line at the intersection. The reason it sucks is that it's pure loss of efficiency to the system - no way to regain it. When every car cedes .5 - 1.5 car lengths of distance at every light, it adds up.

I also hate how most drivers refuse to "control the intersection" on left turns. So instead of getting out there and being ready to go, they stay a full car length behind the line and prevent 1-3 other cars from making it.
