I've never once been honked at at a light but I've also never been dicking around on my phone and missed a green, I feel like people who complain about this stuff and insisting that it was the instant the light turned are probably not being truthful to themselves.

Novo posted:i've adopted a really chilled out driving style as i've gotten older and i still make great time. pretty much every pushy idiot i run across on the highways or off ends up at the next red light with me. You only notice it when this happens because the rest of the time when they made that light and you hit the red and had already forgotten about them. Also cause the light cycles they made the next 5 lights too and didn't have to a waste a bunch of gas stopping at every intersection.

Honking in Finland is rare enough that people on the street will turn and look to see what is happening. That's my story. What is your honking culture like?

I think I might have been traumatized from being in accidents because now I drive under the speed limit, won't go through intersections or merge lanes unless there are no cars around, and am constantly paranoid of other cars merging into mine.

SLICK GOKU BABY posted:You suck at driving that's why. You're supposed to pull into the intersection and make the left turn when the light turns red. gently caress you for not getting that. No... only idiot morons do this. This only makes sense if you can guarantee that the people in the oncoming traffic lane won't ever ever ever run a red light, else your stupid rear end is stuck in the intersection for ages while cross traffic plows into you out of spite.

If you don't drive like an rear end in a top hat in Chicago you'll either never get anywhere, cause an accident, or get shot. Sometimes all three.

Sometimes I'll pass someone without enough time to make the next light but a good chunk of the time I'll make it and when i do the lights are set up so that you'll make the next several too.

BIG-DICK-BUTT-gently caress posted:This never actually happens In some towns or particular strips of road, the lights are most assuredly on a set timer and driving through on all greens is quite possible. In Modesto, CA, you could go from one end of downtown to the other without stopping at a dozen or so lights by going at or slightly above the speed limit. Was pretty cool. E: the No Cruising signs were great.

If you're objecting on safety grounds I'd argue you're also far more likely to get road rage murdered by the guy behind you if you don't commit to a turn so he at least gets to at the next green light than you ever were likely to get killed by a dude outright running a red light. Hell, people who pull far enough into the intersection to let a second guy get in on committing to the turn deserve nobel peace prizes for being super cool dudes.

As opposed to what, backing up directly into the traffic that now occupies the line or being in the middle of the intersection when the cross-traffic goes??? Your literal only option is to complete your turn lol edit: If your real complaint is "you shouldn't pull out into the intersection on a solid green left turn" then say that instead so people can poo poo on you

Left hand turn spergs: whats this all about??? Unprotected lefts or something??? Cause here in the San Diego area I think I know of maybe only one remotely close to me and I avoid it because i'm a babby who likes my left hand turn lights just telling me when to go and i probably would do it wrong because im not from some backwoods shithole where its feasible to turn left without a signal

Honestly this shouldn't be a thing and it's mostly just poor planning on whoever designed those lights if it's a regular problem at those intersections but this is the solution people rely on in those situations and the locals will get upset if a clueless person doesn't realize they'll never have a good chance for a left without doing it.
