Problem: While on the way to the bank, someone in a Lexus RX 350 (I think it was at least), had the genius idea to stop at a green light—a complete stop for several seconds.
Why it’s bad: Stopping at a green light is very dangerous for the people behind you. They are not expecting you to stop. You could get rear-ended. Someone else could run into someone in the neighboring lane trying to get around you. And you’ll piss off everyone around you.
Solution: GREEN MEANS GO! So when the light’s green, don’t stop (you know, given someone isn’t running a red light from the perpendicular direction or there are emergency vehicles or blocked intersections…. when it makes sense to go when the light is green, go).
Possible explanation for action: They seemed lost. If you are lost, don’t do stupid shit. I may have a little more lenience for your terrible driving if you are lost. You may slow down a little at a light if you’re trying to read street signs, but do not stop if the light is green. Also, do not go 10 mph below the speed limit, but that’s a whole other mess in itself.
