    I will hit the same red lights at the same time as others, mind you I do notice when someone flies past me on the fast lane and we reach the same exit ramp stop light.

    Maybe over a short distance you will. Even then they’d be at the front of the line instead of stuck behind who knows how many idiots that are going to be staring at their phone when the light switches and cause you to get stuck behind it for a second time.

      We are now discussing what ifs, and honestly that is valid. Still not worth it in my book. Rather blame the traffic controllers who don’t check to make sure all cars are going through the light or straight up there is just too much traffic which isn’t solved by everyone driving 75+ MPH. It is solved if we instead offer better public transportation. At the end of the day we have different views here. I firmly believe in my own and do not think it is going to change anytime soon.

        The nice thing about my view is that it doesn’t preclude you from adhering to yours. Everyone can go exactly as fast as they want as long as they utilize the different lanes properly.

          What’s nice about no one adhering to rules is that people who break them usually end up dead or without a car. Self healing in a way, real unfortunate for anyone else who might have to deal with your shitty decisions.
