Reminds me of the good ole days in the Lubinka where if we liked a guy we just put a quick bullet in the back of his ear to get it over quick..but if we didn't like em well that was another matter...

This. I don't have a smart phone and my dumb phone is off when driving. BUT...I always pause a few seconds while looking both ways on green. Why? Because if I don't, I'm risking being T boned by a red light runner.

It's called defensive driving, guys...sounds like some of you might need to learn a bit of it.

I am always paying attention at a left turn green arrow. The second the light changes my foot is off the brakes, and I look carefully at the traffic to be 100% sure they are stopping and I will not get hit by some red light running moron.

At one light many years ago I was in my 914 waiting on the light, and about one nanosecond afte the light changed the guy behind me honked, and not a tap tap, but a NY Taxi long blast. I unbuckled, and got out of my car and looked at him with my palms up. Shook my head, got back in and buckled up. About then the light turned yellow and I left him at the light.

Now in the days of the cell phone if the idiot in front has their head down looking at the phone and not paying attention I will tap the horn. Sometimes that is too polite and then I let them have a longer blast to wake them up.

Sadly my wife is one of these people. She now has a mount for her phone and she scrolls through social media or texts at lights and I've even noticed her doing during driving.

My solution... her a s s is walking if she totals the car. I break my back keeping 5 cars on the road and the thanks I get is her car usually being filthy and now this. Oh and not to mention the hands at 5 and 11 or 12 and 6 while going 70. I figure there is nothing I can say or do at this point after being together for for a whole lot of years.

In San Antonio there is a 'hands free' ordinance. The solution for most people is put the phone on speaker and hold it up near the shoulder area. In some crazy way I'm sure they believe that speaker phone is truly hands free even when still HOLDING the phone.

Thats how u gots to be old.

In Tesla’s we have a green light chime you can enable. Seems we are extra distracted as a class of drivers.

Look what these road construction geniuses did near my house: They added right turn lanes by having the main lanes switch in the middle of the intersection. When you're first in line for the left turn lane, you're staring at a head on collision until they switch lanes in front of you and barely miss your left corner!

Confirmed by Baz's dashcam....

Yup, that plus I don't accelerate quickly enough going thru 1st and 2nd.

I think you guys live in a different world than I do.
The most I ever hear/see someone honking at a light is maybe once a month.

Me, having to honk....I think the last time was a couple years ago...if not longer.

Keep it movin', buster! :D

I don't often get honked at because I start out relatively quickly (sometimes they either don't understand the traffic laws/signs or want me to break them...which I will not). When someone does blow their horn behind me at a light, I just put the car in reverse for a few seconds...wait a few more and if they do not honk again, I go forward...slowly. I can be as rude as they can....and I am in front of them so maybe a little better.

This is why they're putting roundabouts everywhere now. Problem is they're too new so people still honk horns and people are still flipping the horn honkers off.

I say you do a preemptive flip off so when they look up in the mirror they see you with the fingers flyin!

funny you bring up Tesla. i never honk anymore. apparently it saves the last 10 minutes worth of dashcam if you honk.

My idea of bad rush hour traffic is 3 cars ahead of me at the stoplight. Curses! When will the madness end!?

Did you put a memory stick in your car to save incidents like when the car is parked? Pretty cool.

Ours came with it installed. It’s fun to see what happened while it was parked. Nothing scandalous yet, sadly.

Always… always proceed with caution when the light turns green. A good friend was first in the left turn lane and took off without seeing the cement truck that lost his brakes coming down the hill. Blasting his horn he T-boned her going 50. I don’t think she ever knew what hit her.

Yea, it came with one. You need to enable Sentry Mode to have it record when parked. They just introduced live cameras in the Tesla app as well.
