I used to do this, until about 5 months ago. I didn't take off immediately once, and it was a darned good thing 'cause I would've been T-boned by this elderly guy going 50 in a 40 thru a red light. Scared me so bad that now I always look both ways before I take off, ALWAYS...and I probably annoy the hell out of the guy behind me.

People around here think traffic laws don't apply to them. It's so scary. All the darned college kids (no, not you) take off before the green and run through the lights on red. To keep from going nuts, I imagine spikes coming up through the crosswalk lines on red and shredding their tires and their stupid 14" enkeis. Ha! Take that, you darned college kids.

:sigh: I wish there really were tire spikes. Nobody, and I mean nobody, would run a red twice.
