“LETS GO BUUIICK! Goddamn drivers from *adjacent state*!”
i dont expect everyone to have lightning reflexes, i sure dont, but i manage to get off the light faster than everyone else by paying attention, and that is all i ask of other drivers… pay attention, esp if you are at the front of the queue. that 2 seconds you take to notice the light is 2-3 cars that dont get to go through.
In fairness I’m a childless lady and I also react this way…
Some people have trouble comprehending the length of a nanosecond. To put it in perspective, a nanosecond (one billionth of a second) in NYC, is the length of time between the light turning green, and the car behind you honking.
When I was a kid and this would happen, my father would, in a very low and steady voice (that’s how he talked when he was pissed off, it was eerie) say “Would you like a gold embossed invitation to move your ass?” Now, as an adult, I find myself saying the same thing in the exact same way and it kinda freaks other people in the car out. 🙂
“It’s not gonna get any greener, buddy”!!!!
Not their fault people who arent competent are driving around 2 tons of steel.
The other day I was behind one person at a light who was texting and slowly put down their phone, put it in gear, and then drove. By the time they in their one car crossed the line on our side the light was already yellow again. Meanwhile theirs now 4 people behind me and we all get to wait while he goes about his merry day.
Get of your phones and drive.
It’s because we’ve lived through missing the light cycle behind some idiot who was digging around in their old McDonald’s wrappers on the passenger floorboards. The anger that wells up looking at that extra red light doesn’t ever go away and you vow to never let it happen again. That’s why you need to start honking early and aggressively so that not only will they make the light but you will too.
I remember driving around Chicago suburbs as a visitor, some years ago. Chicagoans are merciless in this regard. It’s universal, there, for the whole line of cars to lay on their horns as soon as the light turns green – no exceptions.
I hate when cars change lanes at the last second to be first and then dont pay attention to the light.
I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate
Friendly reminder you should always wait and look both ways, even if the light is green. People run reds all the time, and people attempt to run yellows that they cant make even more.
I rewatched this a couple times when it aired, laughed my ass off each time
I give a full three count.
I never take off right away until I make sure the other guy isnt running the red light. I’ve avoided being T-Boned a few times that way and once avoided being obliterated by some guy waaaay back there who floored it when he saw the light turn yellow and ran it well after it had turned red.
Last time I was driving in NYC I noticed people start honking at me before the light turns green. If you’re not rolling when the cross traffic light turns yellow you’re going to get a finger.
At least now and then.
“Are you waiting for the whole pole to turn green??”
“Gas is on the right!”

Everyone when you’re a tourist in France and they have no yellow light transition.
My dad’s old standby was: “What are you waiting for, Christmas?!”
“What are you waiting for?! A written invitation?!”
Definitely got honked at quite a few times driving a manual with a really high clutch grab point. Touchy sports clutch too so I couldn’t rush it.
What movie is this gif from?
It’s not going to get any greener!
I get mad but if I don’t drive mad. I just enjoyed railing about the bad drivers around me. And for me it’s Canadians and Californians
Lol everyone in NYC!
I didnt even have a dad and can relate.
Jim Hopper has replaced Ron Swanson as my spirit animal.
It is claimed that the shortest period of time known to mankind is the time between a New York City traffic light turning green and the sound of a horn honking from cars behind the leading vehicle.

For me it’s only the women I know that drive like this

Nope. I’m a dad and my 4 year old daughter yells for me to go.
Me today driving to pick up my new glasses
Every taxi in r/dubai
Not a dad but its Probably because your texting instead of looking at the light.
is this from spun
That’s my mom, my dad’s on the other hand is super chill.
I’m in the process of learning how to drive and my dad does this if I move 0.1 seconds too late!! Glad I’m not the only one lmaoo
Taking a moment after it turned green to look both ways and make sure nobody is late to a yellow had saved my life twice now.. y’all can wait a half a second.
My experience goes something like that:
Have you checked you mirrors?
Maintain your distance!
Did you check to make sure the cross traffic has stopped before going on green?
You are getting closer to the car in front of you!
You are going 8 miles over the speed limit, slow down!
Dad, I am 35. I’ve been driving for more than half my life. I can drive two blocks to the store without you instructions.
I’m not even a guy or a parent and I’ve done this far more times than I’m willing to admit lol
“THE SKINNY ONE ON THE RIGHT GIVES IT THE GO JUICE, A-HOLE!”
That’s my line. And it gets used a lot.
The gas is the one on the right idiot
