    I'm sure I've pissed numerous people off behind for slowing down for stale green lights, but this is what I'm always thinking will happen if I don't. I don't understand how any trucker can continue to hammer down towards a green light from a half-mile away, especially when the roads are slick. You're not going to be able to stop.

    Four wheeler driver bears some of the blame. Always look before pulling into an intersection even if you have green and especially at light changes. That probably isn’t taught any more. I learned it more than 50 years ago. It still holds true to this day. Probably even more so today.

    Yep.

    Even if the roads aren’t slick I proceed through all lights with caution.

    You never know when a car is going to pull out on a right on red and take your lane.
     
    Bud A. and JC1971 Thank this.

    I look both ways twice before I pull out.

    Ive witnessed some good red light t-bones down here in Florida .

    People regularly run lights down here that have been red for 5 seconds .

    Weather is at fault. I know I don't like to stop at a red light rain or shine.

    That traffic light gave ample time to react. I’ve seen lights with 2 second yellows. Driver probably on the phone.

    Stopping is not the intent, you see? That would defeat the purpose. Yellow red light and all.
