If I count to three at a green and you don’t move I’m assuming you’re staring at your phone or are otherwise distracted. It’s less “those seconds are precious” and more “pay attention and get off your fucking phone when driving.”
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.
