I’m open to the possibility that it’s just me being more aware/sensitive to how people are driving around me too. And I’m not necessarily talking about drivers I have to interact with myself but just seeing what people are doing in general.

    Yeah. And people honking as soon as the light turns green. I got a dollar says the people that honk like that are the same people running reds making me not go when the light goes green.

      Nah it’s because people can’t be off their phones for five fucking seconds and the light usually only lets four cars through so if you don’t get on them quickly it will literally just be one asshole running the red.

      There’s a lot of people clearly using red lights as opportunities to check their phone. If I can see a phone in their hand when the light turns green, I’m honking immediately.

      When I was younger and had a larger vehicle, if someone honked at me less than a second after the light changes, and especially if I had my foot going for the gas… Well I hope you like sitting still because I’m now hitting the brake instead, and we would sit for another light cycle.

      While I probably wouldn’t do that nowadays, I’d be sorely tempted to brake check.
