Think about it for a second. The people wasting the first 3 seconds of the green light are making sure it's safe to go because of the people that think the first 3 seconds of the red light on their side no longer means stop.

Working for a metro police service, I can tell you one of them anyway... cause they will never, ever, get a ticket. The cops, need to get somewhere, fast, and can't pull over to ticket the dimwits... Once in a blue moon, they will get the plate # by chance and cite them later (yes, it's legal) but they're too busy trying to get through traffic to notice the plate... Brad |
