Traffic lights: Bane of my existence!
I hate traffic lights. I'm a red light magnet. When a green light sees me coming, it changes to red, just to piss me off. I wonder how much of my life has been stuck at intersections, waiting for the light to turn green, when no traffic is around?

Why can't the country go to smart lights? We would save soooo much gasoline and time.

2. Sure enough. I'm one of those guys that would get stopped by
a motorcycle cop in hiding. It's happened before.

3. That sucks!
I HOPE I'd get a cop with common sense and could talk him out if citing me if that happened.

4. Wait, I thought they were only to be used as suggestions...
You mean you are actually supposed to obey those things?

6. lol. The happiest time of my life, was when I lived in a small town
in Colorado that didn't have a single traffic light. Not one! (Of course there were other circumstances that made that period of my life great). But no traffic lights definitely helped.
