I’m open to the possibility that it’s just me being more aware/sensitive to how people are driving around me too. And I’m not necessarily talking about drivers I have to interact with myself but just seeing what people are doing in general.
When I was younger and had a larger vehicle, if someone honked at me less than a second after the light changes, and especially if I had my foot going for the gas... Well I hope you like sitting still because I'm now hitting the brake instead, and we would sit for another light cycle.
While I probably wouldn't do that nowadays, I'd be sorely tempted to brake check.
