Being doing this for years and just assumed everyone knew about it. Clearly not

I'd imagine anyone who's driven in a city knows this but maybe people who drive in rural areas wouldn't automatically think of this?

What's common for one person isn't necessarily known to another. Not a single person I've shared this with as I'm driving or they are has known about it and found it helpful so figure I'd share for those may not know of it!

The yellow light is there to let me know the light is about to change to red. It's unclear to me why I need to be forewarned the light is about to change to yellow. If it was important, there'd be another light for that.

It's handy to know if a light is about to change, I have a light that is on bad angle with the rain, so knowing I have time to take it at a safe speed is good, as opposed to getting to it and it switches to yellow with out knowing causes all them other cars to slide off the road. Happens way more than it should.

That's the purpose of the yellow light, after all.

Oh, okay, we clearly live on different planets at the least, if not different galaxies. Good luck!

I'm convinced that people absolutely know how to cross a street, an intersection but they purposely cross as they wish anyway, to inconvenience others at their convenience.

Even if it places them in jeopardy.

This post, if read at all by those people, will not change their behavior.
