This is exactly what I'm thinking. This dude can snark all he wants but most drivers aren't honking unless you're sitting at a green light, more than likely because you're not paying attention.

I've been honked at the instant a light has turned green. So fast that I didn't go because they surely must have been honking for something else. Most drivers are reasonable but if you've never seen a driver lose their shit then you haven't driven long enough.

That's when I purposely sit at the light for an extra 5 seconds before moving. Am I an asshole? Maybe.

And how was your visit to Ottawa?

Most drivers are reasonable. A lot are distracted as well. I would be fully in favor of phones being locked down the moment you start your engine. If a call is that important, pull over.
