Even if I’m doing something I probably shouldn’t, I never miss a light for more than like half a second. It’s not hard to be both irresponsible and look up often.
It’s not even multi-tasking. You gotta know what you’re doing isn’t the right thing to be doing. “Shit, I have time to fill this vape - hope mom doesn’t catch me.” You keep your eyes on the move and don’t get into something you can’t afford to drop.
60 seconds is easily achieved for someone further down the line who has to wait another light cycle. Not paying attention to the green light has a rippling impact.
Seriously. Drivers really seem to lose their sense of time. Going 5 mph slower (or even 15) for a couple minutes won’t impact your arrival time (or will do so only negligibly) because you’re just going to have to wait at the next light anyway. And getting angry while driving is just as dangerous as other causes of distracted driving.
Yeah I fucking love it when some asshole on his phone takes forever to go at the green and only three cars get through and to have to wait an entire light cycle which is at minimum 90 seconds.
When the light turns green and you are unobstructed, you go. Simple as.
Just pay attention to the damn light
I had a guy lay on his horn because I chose not to run over the old lady crossing the street.
Hey, if your light was green then…
/s bc some people, sheesh, you never know.

Most people can’t even do one right 90% of the time. You think they can multi task?

They’d have to be there well over 60 whole seconds to have a slightly meaningful and somewhat noticeable impact on one’s commute.

Won’t someone think of all the extra money they could have made their boss in that whole entire minute of time!? 😔
Edit: damn, I felt so certain that the /s was already implied, but okay…
