    This is what happened before, it so it was already a mess. The rear wiper being on just adds to it all.

    They need to be pulled out and danced on.... Seriously people if you are in charge of the vehicle then look at the big window and watch what's going on around you....

    What I'd love to see is timer units fitted so people would hopefully be ready to take off....


    Wishful thinking of course

    Having the "get set" amber would be a great help as well.

    It’s the only way to treat people like that, and might get in their lane in time in future. Enabling them only reinforces the behaviour.

    Dick move all round. What was the point? Were you going to lose such an inordinate amount of time otherwise?

    In a more southern country where I often drive, it's customary for someone further back at the lights to give a beep as soon as the lights go green regardless.

    It used to piss me off in the beginning if I was first at the lights, because I'd usually be in gear and ready to go.
    But I've become more used to it and have been known to do it myself occasionally.

    It would be useful here.

    It's the same in New York city. As soon as lights go green all the taxis start beeping.

    I remember a former colleague who was working in Latin America for a few years and got into the habit of beeping the car in front when the lights changed.
    It was also customary to stop past the light so the first driver couldn't even see the light so was dependant on the beep to know when to go!


    First week back driving in London, he was involved in several road rage incidents as beeping on light changes is not acceptable!
    He quickly dropped the practice.


    It's better to have the "get set" red & amber sequence to give drivers two clues to the change, as opposed to blinking and seeing a green and thinking they missed the change.

    Television host Johnny Carson described “a New York minute" as the “interval between a Manhattan traffic light turning green and the guy behind you honking his horn.”

    I'm not surprised, he appears to have cut in front of the Porsche leaving it no choice but to swerve into the middle lane.
    Looks like Malaysia or Thailand,

    Some serious collision. What's the speed limits there?

    Tesla on autopilot!

    I wonder if it survived the crash without too much damage?

    Edit: not much it seems

    Not to that extent.

    I know that road.
    You can play the odds of getting blocked by parked cars in the left lane or stopped traffic in the right hand turn lane encroaching on the centre lane.

    But flooring it after fractionally squeezing past the car in the right hand turn lane was just looking for an incident, especially with a pedestrian on the road in front.

    How is he supposed to get into the right lane if he is blocked by all the "inforcers"? That was a serious d*ck move to pull there.
