it makes a lot of sense, i actually have seen this disturbing trend as well and its the same reason texting at reds
people are so busy texting at red lights, that when the red changes to green, the only and i mean only reason that they realize it is green light is from their peripheral vision of the cars besides them actually starting to move.
in other words the lane next to them is going and that is thier signal to go as well.
if your looking down texting, your peripheral vision can pick up the vehicle next to you starting to move , you can't see the green light looking down.
