[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tap/gentle honk when the person in front of me doesn't realize the light has changed from red to green (usuallybecause they are on their phone, not because I tapped a split sec9nd after the light changed).[/quote]

This, and it happens at least 1-2 each week.  I am not impatient (I will give people much more time to go than my wife feels is reasonable), but so many drivers aren't paying attention these days.  Often you can see they are looking down at their cell phone.  I try to make it a short, hey let's go, honk.  Most don't care and understand why, some still act surprised/annoyed.  I just don't have time to sit there while they go with the program - especially at intersections where the light rotation takes a longer time.[/quote]

This happens to me every day. I'm never on my phone. Usually, I'm already moving--just not quickly enough for you very important people behind me who have extremely important places to be.

I'd hope that my slowing to a crawl after passing the intersection and continuing to ignore your honks would teach you a lesson, but probably no. On the other hand, I find it hilarious so go, me.

I've been driving enough in this town to realize that half of you think a light turning green means "honk your horn." Sometimes I wonder if it's just that your hand slipped on the way to the turn signal? Because you seem to have no idea how to use those. [/quote]
