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
People I want to share the road with : him people I share the road with : you lot
