F.y.i.
 

Maybe they thought you fell asleep and were just trying to wake you up.

There are those that wait to see if the light will get greener.

Somebody having a bad day?

The US wastes over 1 billion barrels of oil each year due to an addiction to texting. What you say? Because when people stop at a traffic light they immediately grab their phone and start texting. (ADDICTION) So when the light changes instead of 12 cars getting through the light, only 5 or 6 do. And the other 7 sit there idling and probably texting until the light changes again wasting gas.

So Every time I see someone at a light not going when it changes or leaves a huge gap between them and the car in front of them, I will blow the horn as 95% of them are texting.

Sorry Gracie I usually agree with you, but being concerned about our carbon foot print there is a requirement to blow the horn and get these addicts moving.

It's called a New York Second, the time between the light turning green and the sound of a horn behind you.

I know where you can get some birdseed. :popcorn::a040:

Whoa......birds can fly 80mph and eat while doing so?

In Chicago you count to three before starting up to allow for the cars blowing through the red light.

Experienced this yesterday, not in TV but here up north. Was at a traffic light that had turned green and didn't blow my horn but wondered why the SUV in front of me wasn't moving. In a split second, I then watched as a truck with attached trailer blow through the red light at a very high rate of speed. If that SUV was not in front of me, I may not have noticed and proceeded immediately when the light turned green. And if the SUV had gone and I followed, well that could have been a very tragic accident.

Sometimes you just have to look upward and say, "Thank you".

Moral of the story - I may start taking your advice from now. Let the impatient drivers behind me blow their horn.

I had an experience somewhat like that in the 80's in Savannah. I was northbound on Abercorn, which is a 6 lane divided highway that starts at I-95 and runs all the way downtown. I was in the suburbs in the left turn lane but was going to make a U-turn to go back to a store. Being in the turn lane it triggered the arrow on my light. When I got the arrow and started my turn and completed my U-turn into the middle lane of the 3 lanes. A car that had to be doing 60 mph and was going through the red on the other side blew by me in the third or outside lane. Had I made a regular left turn I probably would of met that car in a t-bone situation, but by turning completely left and only going to the second lane, we missed by about 3 feet and I still remember to this day what almost happened.

another impatient approach to TV retired drivers.....if someone blows their horn behind me immediately when the light turns green I move, as slowly as I can. They want to be a pain in my butt, I will be a pain in theirs. As far as that helping the environment....big BS

Some people's sense of time...is not nearly as honed as others.


After quickly looking for red light runners, I'll usually give an honest three seconds...before giving a short honk.

Exactly...Maryland too. Only been here 5 weeks and have seen 2 vehicles blow through red. I will take those seconds to be safe.

Some people require audible encouragement to awaken them, I believe some people here are not texting but taking a short snooze. :)

I spent decades in Ohio where people don't honk.

Also. If I have just entered my car at Publix and someone honks at me to hurry me out, I will stay there motionless until one of us, me or the honker, dies of natural causes.

And I know where to deliver the bird seed! Oh and where is the LIKE button for your post.

I don't intentionally provoke anyone. Road rage is real and I value my life.

OH TOO funny, thank you for a good laugh.
