This is a QotW answer Red+Amber
A pretty irrational driving peeve of mine.
When waiting at the front of the queue at traffic lights, and they change to red+amber, it really annoys me when the car next to me pulls away slowly.

If you are in such a fucking hurry, that you can't wait for green, why do I still beat you to the other side of the junction, when I do?

I'm a pretty smooth, chilled out sort of driver, I don't dump the clutch for phat wheelspins, in fact, some friends have criticised me for my overly sedate driving style. I just accelerate sensibly away from my stationary position at the white line. I don't even drive a car with a great deal of power.

This is a QotW comment On a similar note
why do so many of 'the masses' seem entirely unable to stop at a white line.

I always wonder what they would do if it was a brick wall ?

The DFT disagrees with you, but what would they know?

I thought you had to wait at red+solid amber but you could go if it was clear at red+flashing amber.
