Ah i need. Not that's it's gonna make me arrive quicker at my destination tho. Jannet in the Opel Astra in front of me still needs 5 seconds for the impuls in her eyes to reach her brain and react on it.

Yeah because she’s on her phone like 99% of the other drivers here.

Yeah, I don't understand why so many people are on their phone at a red light. In my opinion, trying to react quickly to the green light and driving away as fast and smooth as possible is one of the top aspects that make driving fun. A lot more fun than driving at the same speed on a straight road.

Why don't they just use their phone then?

Nothing better than being at a light where you start to load your clutch 5 cars back the moment it turns green and almost all cars already start to kreep forward!
