This coasting trick works until there's enough of those assholes in a hurry that they all rush ahead to stop in every lane. Now all the sane drivers have to stop too. If I'm feeling plucky, I might honk and flash my brights at those "gotta pass everybody to stop first at the light" types like they're the slowpoke in the way, which they kind of are at that point. Usually I just keep quiet and imagine that they're in such a hurry because they are either about to or have just shit their pants.

Beware though, coasting past stopped traffic just as the light changes is a good way to get T-boned by another careless ass hat that just ran the other light.
