Back in the 70’s, I was taught that a light that was green for a long time was a “stale green light” and be prepared to stop.
BUT DON’T STOP WHEN IT’S GREEN!😡

All those behaviours that baffle me are actually taught in Drivers Ed.
When we first moved here I nearly rear ended a dozen people the first 6 months.
We'd be driving along, traffic light in the distance, green, and out of no where the person in front of me would actually come to a full stop at a green light. 
It happened agin one day during the time she was in Drivers Ed, I as usual, lost my ****.
She pipes up from the back seat, "they teach us that in drivers ed, if the lights been green for a long time we should stop, even if it's still green" 
What ****ing moron thought that was a good idea.  |
