This is not a parody thread. It just that many people who have responded to this post didn't realize the OP was being sarcastic.

How is that reckless driving? I don't need an electrical device telling me when it is safe to go. I have eyes, I can see. The stop sign dosen't signal me when it is safe to go.

Meh, I do it all the time. Traffic signals are just suggestions. As long as you're cautious, you should be fine.

Wow. The FIRST thing that I thought of, after reading the thread title, is the 'San Francisco Rush' video-game, where a key feature of succeeding in that game, is finding these hidden little "shortcuts", like driving through tunnels, off jump-ramps, over building roofs, etc.

I was just imagining you doing that during your daily commute to work. Sounds like fun.

lmao

 

[rh71]

it's easier to get away with it during the daytime since cops from the side can't see your light. I run yellows, not reds.

 

[RossMAN]

Hooray that's 4 more minutes you can Mod AT

 

[EagleKeeper]

Easier to just program the traffic pattern to give you a green band.

Safer and actually better time.

I do that from time to time here at certain lights. There are some places that should really be blinking red lights during certain times of the day.

4 min each way x 2 = 8min/day
8min/day x 5 days = 40min/week
40min/week x 50weeks = 2000min/year
2000min/year x 30years = 60000min = 1000hrs before you retire

I was thinking you would live like in Nebraska, but no u live in California where people run like ants around there.

 

[chuckywang]

Yet another accomplishment that deserves its own thread!

Soon as my light turns green I hit the gas. However I watch for other cars and if someone is going through illegally I will get a close as I can to their car and lay on the horn. Usually scares the sh!t out of them and it's pretty fun. I just wish someone would get so scared they'd actually crash on the other side of the intersectino and hit a tree or something.

Lately, I have noticed that the police no longer enforce the red light law. People run through the lights and you are sitting there with a green. I see it happen right in front of cops and they act like they don't see it. If you don't count to five or look carefully before you proceed, you will get T-Boned.
So I took the next logical step. From now on, if no vehicles are coming, I will no longer wait for my light to turn green. As soon as it is clear to do so, I will run the light. Today it shaved almost 4 minutes from my commute time.
I highly recommend it and encourage you to do the same.

Hope ya don't get "T-bagged" hahahaha. Sounds like that is the least of your worries, especially if you have allready rationalized that it is ok to run red lights........

You get busted in England for that as they have cameras on the lights. Most are out of film but hey I don't like to gamble this way

Ever hear of DIGITAL photography....... hence NO need for film..........

What kind of lily-livered pvssy uses roads? I got myself a monster truck 4x4 and make my own fvcking roads. You should see the look on people's faces when you trample over their puny little chain link fences, make fertilizer out of their rose beds, and take out their dog houses, but man, it's shaved over 17 minutes off my drive.

Hahahah

Won't do ya much good trying to drive thru the city.....

1- Chain link fence will do a great job at flinging upside your 4x4 and scratching your paint to hell.
2- Rose beds are probably mostly fertilizer anyways.
3- If you tear up the dog houses you are now killing animals.

Still funny! haha

That's one of my favorite things to do ever.

maybe in rural areas this is possible. but here in NJ...its almost impossible to get a chance to go when the light's red. traffic congestion here in NJ is crazy...especially during rush hour
