The light is green. Why are you not moving?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Nanosecond is a period between traffic light going green and somebody from behind honks.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

I assume the person in front is waiting for the red light runners to clear the intersection before starting.

You’re in pole position, you have a responsibility to those behind you. Be considerate and pay attention.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Yeah, and for anyone concerned, this doesn't mean jam on the gas, but you got a make some move. You can be conscious of intersecting traffic and whether they've actually come to a stop, as well as aware of everyone behind you apparently being in a huge hurry, because they always are. So take your foot off the brake, let me see those brake lights go away, and it's at least a signal to everyone that we are underway here at Silverstone.

That's me. My friend was in front of me.

What bothers me are the people who do go when the light turns green, but take their damn sweet time to do it...

Eeeease oofffff the braaaake…. Mooove fooot toooo gaaaaassssss… Creeeeep into intersection at 0.05mph….

…just as long as they get through before the light turns red again, fuck everyone behind them, I guess.

Fuck those people.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Yeah, personally I'm all about clear the intersection. There's conflicting movements and it's a bottleneck, let's all get through as efficiently as we can. This doesn't mean flooring it, but we can at least apply some throttle, and not just through but beyond the intersection, because contrary to what some folks believe, there are people on the road other than you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Can't help but think if the light really just turned green, or if OP just noticed it was green and assumed it just changed but had been green for a while.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 days ago (2 children)

When I can clearly see you on your phone, yes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

they race up behind you, tailgate you, swerve to pass you in the next lane, then take several seconds to get going at the light, all while I'm still coasting in gently because I timed the light change

goddamn right I'm up their ass honking at them. get a fucking move on dipshit

Head down looking at their lap instead of driving. Straight to jail.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

If only, sadly even doing that while you drive over human speed bumps is ok

A "New York minute" is defined as the time between when the light turns green and when a New York driver will honk their horn at you.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

I knew it as "New York Second", and that it is the shortest time interval measurable by science.

Is physical violence common on RuPaul's show?🤔

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A lot of places in east asia have red light timers. If theres nobody coming, people will start when theres like 3 seconds left.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That feels like an argument for why red light timers for cars might be a bad idea.

Like, you can understand the intent - by giving extra information, drivers know how long they have to wait and so won't get as annoyed - but that same extra information encourages drivers to take risks, and start moving even earlier than they would with just a simple red/amber/green

I think it would be disastrous in America or Korea, but it seems to work here and it would probably work in Japan.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

I saw someone do that in Korea. The guy in front immediately stops the car and sits there for like 2 minutes as the guy behind honks and eventually does like a 7 point turn to go around.
