I give you about 3 seconds. Then you're getting the horn because you were on your phone at the light like a jackass.
I mean seriously, it's not a big ask to not use your phone while you're driving.

It's also the same one that during the red light kept creeping forward like they were at a drag race starting line. Light goes green...nothing. I thought you were in a hurry?
Doesn't everyone else watch the traffic flow of the other lights, the crosswalks, all the other signs something is about to change? I guess not.
Exactly. Know what's going on around you.
I still tend to wait a couple seconds as I double check some other doofus isn't running the red.
Someone didn't stop at their red light and would have t-boned me if I didn't stop early in the middle of the intersection. (Intersection was clear before I entered.) I got honked at by the person behind me.
Like... Chill, it's going to take a few seconds to maneuver around this nonstandard traffic situation.
A couple of years ago, I had some worn bushings on the stick-shifter of a manual transmission truck that made it hard to put into first gear from a stop.
I'm sure everyone thought I was some dumb jerk on their phone. 😐
And the other time I thought to myself - hey, let's be nice! And so I was nice. The driver in the car in front kept reading whatever he was reading on his bloody phone and nobody moved till next light :)
See, that’s when you wait till it’s almost red and then go.
They’re either trapped or running a red
Yesterday, someone honked at me for a minute straight because I didn't want to turn right on red.
I've had that happen, usually there's a pedestrian or something they don't see, or my favorite, a no right on red sign. But they'll blast their horn away
Those cars are actually just being driven by a flock of geese in a trenchcoat, they honk regardless of the circumstances.
By far one of my favorite bumper stickers
The other day I had someone honking behind me at a red light. I was like "is this dude color blind?" And then he pulled out to my left and turned. The turn light was green, and they were in the wrong lane. lol
