Probably 2 or 3, but I NEVER pull into the intersection behind a car that has already done so---you lose all control of the situation and are now dependent on the actions of the guy in front of you, not a good idea, especially in TV. As far as the light changing red and getting stuck in the intersection, it rarely happens, not if you are paying attention, but while you may draw a horn or a finger, I doubt anyone who was stopped in the cross road would accelerate right into you when the light changes
