This has always pissed me off. Even if I’m 10 or 20 cars back I go as soon as the light changes, but I always have to stop again because the person in front of me hasn’t started moving yet. This isn’t a problem when I’m the 2nd car at the light, because the first car always goes as soon as the light changes and If I go also there is no delay. If I’m the 3rd+ car back I am delayed every time. People really are stupid sometimes.
Next study: Why do people stop at the end of an on-ramp to a highway when they clearly have their own lane that is long enough to get up to speed and merge in. Instead they stop there and think they are going to come up to highway speeds from a complete stop during a break in the traffic flow. This wouldn’t bother me if it wasn’t for the fact that I am often stopped behind such idiots and then I have to start from a complete stop after they go. ARGGGGGGHHHH ! I usually sit behind them and hold down my horn the entire time until they move.
