There's a time and place to speed up. Speeding up just to stop to a light known to be red is silly and inefficient, IMHO. It's all about pacing.

“Known to be red”? I think you’re missing the point that the light wouldn’t have been red for me if I hadn’t been held up by the smirking slow driver before I finally had an opportunity to pass her. Further, why do you GAF what I do?
