There really are people who don't give me time to react to the light change. I drive a manual. It takes time to clutch in, first gear, brake out, throttle in, clutch out. And don't get me started on inclines.
I sometimes have to go straight through a specific light (where 95% of traffic goes right) to get home. So I'm first in line waiting at the red. No turn signal because I'm crossing the road. A woman in an SUV sitting behind me gives a little honk. Then a few seconds pass and she starts laying on her horn. I had to reach up and out of my sunroof and point straight ahead to tell her I am going straight. Stopped honking after that.
Oh and turning right on red is fucking optional.
Some people.
Right on red is optional AND requires a full stop first. The amount of people that just roll right through without a stop like they have any right of way then get pissed when the cross traffic blasts by in front of them
I drive a manual sometimes and never really have a problem starting at a light. The real problem is being 4 cars back and the car in front of you starts to move 3 inches forward after the light has been green for 30 seconds then abruptly stops and you stall your car. It's great.
Umm you should be doing all of that at the same time?
