    Another vote in agreement. I read this post and thought the author had no idea how long the light was green cause he wasn’t paying attention.

    Also, the guy behind him made the light, but 3 cars back might not have because this guy is not paying attention.

      If it’s a problem for those 3 cars back, then there is a traffic flow issue, (or not - sometimes slowing traffic makes it go faster overall). And while idiots on phones are an issue, if a second or two extra matters that much to you, then the solution is on you to have left home earlier. Spend 5 minutes less sitting on the toilet playing with your phone in the morning.

        Again, you’re saying a second or 2, and it’s probably more like 10 seconds at a light that stays green for 20 seconds.

        Having to get caught at a red light 2 times in a row because somebody is not paying attention is just annoying. It’s not a matter of me getting there on time. I don’t want to sit at a red light that I shouldn’t have to cause somebody is not paying attention.
