Have you ever been less than prompt reacting to a green traffic light?

Poll question: Have you ever been less than prompt reacting to a green traffic light?

[LSparkle]

1. Oh, yeah, boyfriend's favorite line is "it won't get any greener"

I don't know what it is with me, but I'm also bad on directions -- he'll tell me to turn left and I'll go right. Drivelexia?

[yewberry]

2. Not really

...I learned to drive in the Boston area, and they kill you for that.

3. Well, yes, I do have to admit to it....

Sometimes my mind is just elsewhere...

But not usually...Usually I'm stuck behind the person who isn't paying attention!

Oh well...I figure that all of this just teaches me to be patient...

:hi:

4. Just because the light turns green it doesn't mean that the cars going

the other direction are going to stop We have a surplus of red light runners where I live not to mention one of the most dangerous highways in GA. I always wait a few seconds and look both ways to make sure the other cars are going to stop. Of course, impatient people in huge SUVs with W stickers will beep at you.

5. Here in Austin

at least 5 people will run the red light. Anybody that's been here for a time will look first, then go.

6. Yeah, and I've been honked at for being less than prompt. I

promised myself a long time ago never to honk at the less than prompt that may be in front of me. Proud to say, I've stuck to that promise. LOL

10. Yes, it makes my day when some jerk starts honking

It makes me so happy, that I feel like getting out of the car, going back there and beating the idiot's brains in. Something like that would only have to happen once and nobody would honk anymore.

[MsConduct]

13. LOL I like that idea. But maybe there's a less violent way

to go....like get out of your car and act like a total wacko. You know, stand there looking back at the dumb ass and honk you horn and point at them. Thanks for the laugh.

[Kathleen04]

7. Yep

and here it will take them exactly half a second to honk at you..hell sometimes they honk at you as you're already starting to go!

[trof]

8. Never. I even anticipate and go a few seconds before it turn green.

I'm psychic.

9. No. I pay attention when I'm in the car.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

11. Not only No but FUCK NO!!!

and get the hell over to the right if you wanna drive like my grandma

[JimmyJazz]

12. Only when I'm putting on my make up!

:silly:

[Alcibiades]

14. I watch the other lights

to tell when the lights in my direction are about to change. Then I gun it, burning rubber and wasting gas.

Only kidding. Then I gently apply pressure to the pedal, but I really, really want to gun it.
