    How often does this happen?

    Sounds like you’re one of those idiots who’s on their phone during a red light and needs the car behind you to provide a wake up call.

      I’ve had this happen at least a few times. Each time it was because someone was in the crosswalk they couldn’t see and thought I was just being a dumbass.

      It happens a lot in NYC. The couple times I took an Uber somewhere instead of the subway, the driver seemed to always be on the horn.

      Eh, I’ve seen it happen too, more than once. To be staring at the traffic light behind a line of cars and hear someone in front honk immediately when the light turned green. It is ridiculous.

      I missed the change of the first traffic light I stopped at when I had just bought my first car, I had stopped so the light was hidden behind my rearview mirror, got a deserved honk

          What part of “first car” confuses you?

          Sorry, I thought it was clear that it was an unfamiliar situation as a new driver, the lights was in a slightly unusual configuration so I didn’t see the light as I pulled up and thus never realized that I needed to shift my head to see it.
