Even better: learn the pattern of the traffic lights in your commute, and don’t slow down if you see it will turn green in less than two seconds.

unless some asshole decides to stop in your lane before you.

Treating green lights as safe = RIP

where’s the fun in that. my 300000hp engine can get to the stop light faster.

If you drive manual, the pro move is to engine brake all the way down. If the light turns green, you’re already in gear and possibly even higher up in revs meaning you can quickly swap right back to the gas pedal. Feels cool every time it happens.

1. Just go close to the speed limit. Be safe.

2. You could also argue that going fast means you have a chance to make a light before it goes green, so you increase your opportunity. If you dont catch the green you are only as bad as par.
