I use most of the above mentioned techniques. Also - If I see cars slowing down in front of me, I try to keep an eye on who started braking first. Usually thats a good indicator of their age (old people brake like super whoa early), and I avoid that lane. :walter: Funny cuz I drive a caddy and always pull up to the light real slow, people move over to get in the other lane and then I pull away the fastest and they get stuck behind someone slow and 10 minutes later fly by me.:hay: Then at the next red light it happens all over again šŸ‘ pisses poeple off like whoa :tup: ---

A+ thread. Haaaa. I do this shit all the time. Iā€™d like to thinkof myself as a very talented traffic decision maker. I hate when you pick the left lane, and they end up being the asshole who didnā€™t use their blinker. I want to murder those people. ---

lol im glad to think im not the only retard that does thisā€¦ I was actually going to make a thread a long while back, but decided not to. +1 dawn. fucking homos. I like to think battles are won/lost at red lights myself. not so much cutting people off like a fucking douchebag to get 2 cars ahead. (Only to have the old grandma you just cut off fly by you because you picked the wrong lane at a lightā€¦ oh so much work lost!) ---

LOL I drive an 86 monte carlo ss, with true duals, 3.73 posi and 12 inch wide rear tires. I normally get run over at stoplights as I drive it very easy, no need to hammer on it to get no mpg and still have to stop at the next redlight. ---

beyond the obvious things like one line is way shorter than the other or one is filled with trucks or something I usually donā€™t care. Iā€™m usually one of the slowest anyway, get beat by minivans all the time. Its fun once in a while to take off fast but generally a waste. ---

this is the exact reason why I stopped taking the highway home. I would experience sooo much rage it would literally ruin my day. I still get stuck behind slow vehicles on the back roads but there is only one lane so I donā€™t experience as much rage as I would by peopleā€™s retarded antics on multiple lane roads. What I found is that the right lane (slow lane) would be faster in most cases because alot of the sheep just want to cruise in the left lane to avoid merging/turning traffic. But then you would get the rare person that actually follows the traffic rules and cruises in the slow lane which actually fucks everything up. you then get the situation where 2 cars are driving slow, neither passing one another for miles, backing up traffic, with a bunch of pissed off people behind them. Iā€™m getting pissed off just thinking about it. ---

This happens to me most at the amsdell light on rt 5 in the burg. I think thatā€™s the road, across from that huge dentist office on the lake. I never go in the left lane at that light, because it alllways happens! ---

> [@9c1ny](#): > > I go WOT every light, no better feeling in the world than making the next light as it turns yellow and watching the sea of traffic fade away in your rear view I am 100% with you. I drive on many different roads about 9-12hrs a week for work. The things I see on the road would blow your mind in an average week. But I am not paid by the hour so getting from job site to job site in a timely manner is crucial. I profile every car in those few seconds before I pick my fate at every light. But itā€™s always best to be first. ---

This is so true going down Main St in the village of Williamsville. I try and get into the right lane when I canā€¦so much hate when I am in the left lane. ---

Go with the Ford Fusion. Those drivers always have something to prove for some reason. :tup: Iā€™ll try to avoid getting behind a big truck/bus, otherwise I choose my lane based on the probability of pulling up next to a hot chick. :evolve: ---

Race is also a factor, among with many of these other ones. My first choice is black or hispanic, then white, then asian last. ---

Itā€™s a rough gameā€¦ A lot of the time, the farthest right lane is the fastest, but then after the light every ones driving with 2 feet. I really hate when everyone feels the need to be in the center lane or left lane when there is only one car in the right lane. This happens a shit ton on Genesse by the air port. Or when people feel the need to immediately merge into the middle lane from on ramps to the thruway. Donā€™t they teach anything in drivers ed anymore. Itā€™s bad enough kids canā€™t tie their fucking shoes anymore. /rant [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/do-you-play-the-which-car-is-going-to-take-off-faster-game/76190.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/do-you-play-the-which-car-is-going-to-take-off-faster-game/76190.md?page=3)
