True. A better statement would be: It is very smart to look first to
check if anyone is running a light than once clear go. Just waiting 20
to 25 seconds is downright stupid esspecally if it is a short light.

That is very true. However when driving at high speeds on the freeway it
is't hardly noticable. It should be illigal to blast your music in stop
and go traffic or whenever you are moving at less than 40 mph. Like a
trafffic jam on the freeway.
