    Bro people I drive with SLAM on the breaks to obey traffic lights as they’re changing sometimes like, you’re gonna get rear ended doing that just go through the yellow. The green light is delayed ffs.

      They aren’t all delayed, there are a few lights in my city that go green as soon as the other one goes red.

      That’s what happens when you have massive wealth inequality and fixed-price fines. You have to set the fine high enough to deter most people from misbehaving, but that amount of fine could saddle some people with literal years of debt for running a red light and they act irrationally as a result.
