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.
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.
Won’t someone think of the demerits or whatever I’m gonna get on my name after another 30-seconds-late clock in because my shitty capitalist boss has to nickel and dime me but I still need to survive?
Why are most lemmy leftists completely blind to the pragmatism of current real-world material conditions? You guys forget we still live in the late-stage capitalist hellscape?

I had a guy lay on his horn because I chose not to run over the old lady crossing the street.
Just pay attention to the damn old lady
Hey, if your light was green then…
/s bc some people, sheesh, you never know.
Some horns are stiff. It can be hard to make it go beep beep without going full HOOOOONK.

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

Cars should be smart enough by now to watch the lights for us. I’ve gotta scroll, baby.
Mine will tell me if the car in front of me is driving off, so we’re getting there.
They’d have to be there well over 60 whole seconds to have a slightly meaningful and somewhat noticeable impact on one’s commute.

Same with fuckers that don’t compress traffic down.

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…

They somehow do. I reckon a fair few aren’t there with us trying to make our six months without another writeup.
