[Christ]

I don't think he meant street racing specifically... I'm sure that, rather, he meant throttling it to get through faster, which is, on all accounts, illegal.

Knowing that the light will turn green in just a second or two, drivers are less likely to brake or even let off the gas. Eventually, a second or two becomes 5 seconds, which is the average for how long the opposite yellow light lasts. If a driver encroaches the 5 second limit, there is a great chance for increased accident rates.

I still could care less, if you're that stupid, you deserve the Darwin Award you're so determined to get.
