Yeah.. But it was only 0.74 seconds, because he honked!
It's become a pretty common occurrence for a light to change and the driver in front of me to be staring at their phone.
Which is me saying I never used to honk at people at lights, and now I find myself doing it about once a week.
Same here. Though tbf I do still give the friendly two honks rather than the annoyed long honk. I don't need to punish them as much as they may deserve the long honk, I just need them to go so I'm not fired for being late to work. So idk I feel it isn't that bad of me to do.
Same.
I give a single light honk to get their attention. Not an angry long honk.
And for the record, I've been caught staring at my phone a couple of times and needed to be honked at too.
Same here, we're all human!
