if they ever add red light cameras to the on-ramp stoplights I think that would actually be enough to get me to stop driving
I can justify risking my life to save 10 seconds but I can’t justify risking my life because I had to come to a complete stop before an onramp that is too short where people decide to drive insanely in the rightmost lane
Lmao I love your energy in this whole thread. Keep being you. But also, stop at the lights please, they help everyone. I’d say stop driving too, but we all know how viable that is in the US .
@Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 😇 anytime I can reassure you I am not skipping the lights when people are waiting, I’m not evil!! it’s a very specific light at very specific times when coming to a complete stop makes it impossible for me to get to 75 (which people are going in the right lane) from the light itself, when there isn’t real traffic anyways.
Also red light cameras are very faulty
Your car must be hella slow. My car has 126hp as a 4 seater and I can get to 75 in time, sometimes it’s a little close though. Just be safe yo!
@Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml The alternative is putting up with the unpredictable incompetent speeding from these people who forget the onramp exists and their random lane changes into the rightmost lane right by the onramp. Sorry for the rant. But seriously it results in having to slow down to avoid the people who speed up randomly seemingly just to not let you merge and that can be even more dangerous
@Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml I just have had a lot of close calls with people nearly rear ending me. If they move the light five feet back it’ll be fine.
@Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml Like I quadruple check over the side of the onramp to see what people are doing and they still just try to kill people for no reason. I don’t think just following a set traffic timer when nobody else is around will help. Nobody drove like this here 4 years ago. Happy to be out in a few months. Not gonna have to drive much where I am headed, btw
