Have you ever considered that this extends the backup for those behind you? That it actually does take time for your car to decelerate when you’re stopping at the green light, in addition to the fact that it takes more time for multiple cars to pull off in series per car than just one?
How about stop trying to be quirky and just go through the green light like a normal person?
In almost every jurisdiction on earth, you aren’t allowed to block an intersection. OP is doing the right thing by waiting on the other side of the intersection for space to move into. If anything they’re avoiding traffic by not blocking the tangent lane of cars at the next light.
Exactly. I’ve been fucked far too many times by the behavior the guy above you is condoning. People who block intersections are as much a part of the traffic problem as weavers, left lane cruisers, tailgaters, cutters, and all the jerks who deny zipper merging.
Valid. I missed the getting blocked into the intersection part because that feels like a given. Why even say anything at that point? It’s a very mundane thing to say that you follow the rules of the road.
That’s on me for looking for the argument before reading to understand.
Have you ever considered that in most places it’s literally illegal to block an intersection, and that if there is not space to proceed through the intersection you’re supposed to stop before it?
