I don't honk I get out of my car with my baseball bat and knock him down... Bitch next time you will pay attention when you are driving
This is Montreal. If after 1 second of the light being green, you haven't started moving, you're getting honked at. If you're the first car at the intersection, you should be looking at the lights and oncoming traffic as if you were staged for a drag race. You don't need to take off like a mad-man, but you best be ready to go when it turns green.
So true about New York City, like literally the instant the light turns green you'll get honked at by a cab driver, happened to me. Same thing in Boston too, I just laugh when they do that.
aaah la vie des gens stressé de montréal !
Moi je claxonne meme si chui le premier.
J'te croit pas. Y'a pas de lumiere aux intersection a Lavaltrie. L'electricite se rend pas encore la.
I honk at everybody sleeping at the light, including police van this week. I also honk people leaving the line on idle and take two blocks to accelerate to 30 on a main street with nobody front of them, wtf is wrong with those people!?
TLDR: Do you honk when a light turns green (after a reasonable delay)?
Long story: I was behind a car at a traffic light. Traffic was intense, as it always is on lower Atwater ave. The light turns green, 3-4 seconds go by. The driver in front of me was clearly looking at his lap and not paying attention (cellphone?), so I gave the lightest possible tap of my horn to alert the driver it was time to goooooo.
HE RAGED. He gives me the finger, we start driving. I don't care, it's a beautiful day, I'm calm. Granted we just left a light, I'm 5-10ft behind. He then slams his brakes once. I couldn't react fast enough and tapped his bumper. Then he fully locks up his brakes and that's when there was a solid connect. Luckily, no damage.
A 65 year old man then get's out of his car yelling and screaming at his wife "CALL THE POLICE, CALL THE POLICE". Then he starts yelling at me. I was omega calm and talked him out of his rage.
To me I did him a favour by letting him know the light was green. Clearly, he doesn't think so.
Thinking back, I should've let the police come. With the witness at the intersection, I'm fairly confident he would've gotten the ticket. But, I had better things to do.
So, honk or no? In NY everyone honks. Even the person at the front of the intersection honks. But they do it after .0000001 seconds, which isn't reasonable.
I honk after 3 full seconds. People should just wake the fuck up, they wouldn't last 2 seconds in NYC.
I treat every red light like it's a drag strip, except without flooring it and speeding obviously. If I'm the one at the front of the line at an intersection, 99% of the time I'm taking off sooner than everyone else because once that shit is green I'm guaranteed to be gone in less than 0.5 seconds. When I'm at a red light and in neutral, I'll put it into gear once I see the other light turning yellow, that way I'm ready to go without wasting even a second. This sounds arrogant but everyone should be like me at red lights, that way nobody would ever get honked at or miss their lights because of that one cock sucker on his/her cell phone at the front of the line.
