You do realize that unexpected slow downs also result in many accidents, right? The behavior you just described is more risky than the default.

- valuearb 9y agono it’s not, i’m not stopping in intersections. I’m not exceeding the speed limit, I’m going a little less. Fast enough to see oncoming traffic and not to be rear ended.
- mikeash 9y agoGoing a little less than the speed limit is not nearly enough. If someone stopped at the perpendicular red light suddenly floored it, you wouldn't have enough time to stop. The maximum safe speed through a typical intersection is probably only about 10MPH. Less if there's not much room between the stopped traffic and your lane.
