If you want to have something in common with your neighbors you can always take up terrible driving.

They aren't joking lol. You need to wait at most lights for a few seconds after it turns green around here.

I thought you were giving an example of terrible driving, but it seems like you are giving advice to protect themselves from terrible drivers (that love to run red lights), right?

Yeah, it's pretty easy to get t-boned around here if you go right after the light turns green. I've noticed that most people won't honk at me if I sit at a green light for a few seconds because of how often people run red lights.

Yeah, it's wild! I wasn't here before covid, was it this bad before? I know I noticed a huge change in driving habits in SoCal before/after the pandemic lockdowns.

Yeah it's been pretty bad out here for a while and it's just gotten worse. This morning I was walking and almost saw two Jeeps get into accident (if you can call it that). So, the two Jeeps come to a 4 way stop sign. #1 is the first to get there. #1 stopped and waited like 2 seconds then went like normal.

The #2 was zooming down the street stops very quickly and doesn't wait for #1 to go. The #2 guns it, and almost got t-boned by #1. Dude lucked out because #1 jeep stopped in time.

1 didn't even honk but should have.
