    Lot of people in this thread thinking the split second the light turns green we need to gun it. Get fucked, I’m not on my phone and you’re just an impatient asshole. No one owes you a jack rabbit start. Calm the fuck down and breath.

      You don’t need to “jack rabbit” out, but you shouldn’t be moving like a sloth either, every second of delay delays all other cars behind you and reduces overall traffic flow

      It is the drivers responsibility to ensure the intersection is clear of cars and pedestrians before proceeding. The green light doesn’t immediately mean go, they may be waiting for a pedestrian to finish crossing or a car to clear after running a red.
