Then there are those people that at first stop right at the line of the intersection, which is good. But then while the light is still red they start inching all the way over the line, often ending up in the middle of the crosswalk section. It seems they're so impatient and can't wait to get going, so I would expect to see some burning rubber and smoke when the light turns green and they disappear out of sight within seconds. Instead the light turns green, they sit there for 3 more seconds and then ever so slowly accelerate and take forever to get anywhere close to the speed limit.

Ha. When you are up against a little quick guy, they move out of the way before you can even get the swing going.
In intercollegiate wrestling, I would love to watch/see the 150lb guy against the heavyweight. Speed vs strength.

Koen AertsFor instance at a red light when cars stop they leave these huge gaps - several car lengths - in between, then sit there for about 10-20 seconds and start inching little by little to close the gap. Why is that? Why do people leave those big gaps and then keep inching for so long? (go, stop, go, stop, go, stop, ...) It seems quite common and I see it all the time. Why can't people just drive to the point where they can go no further so they don't need to inch forward forever? [/quote wrote:
While I don't stop leaving a big gap and then inch forward, I do like to play a game where I challenge myself not to push the brake any further down than where it already is. Or sometimes I'll try to avoid coming to a complete stop at all. For me it's just a way to pass the time at a red light.
