Your engine cranks at a green because it has a start-stop mechanism.
My engine cranks at a green because my car has an electrical issue, we are not the same.

This is why traffic lights suck now. Instead of the car going forward, the car takes ~3/4 of a second to start, and everyone now moves one at a time instead of all together.

did this one particular time and the guy in the next lane was having none of it. tried to gun the engine but i just floored it and shot ahead. proceeded to ride my ass while i'm doing 20 over only to slow right the fuck down for the first chicane that i kept it pegged 20 over to get through lol. i think he gave up after that

It's just how language evolves
English didn't have a word for orange until recently, that's why gingers are called red hair and foxes are described as red

Start-stop feature in many non-hybrid cars. The starter is specced to withstand a gorillion amount of starts, and the battery is big enough to keep the AC running while waiting on a traffic light. They claim it saves around 10% of fuel which I doubt it does outside big cities. Pic unrelated.

>The starter is specced to withstand a gorillion amount of starts, and the battery is big enough to keep the AC running while waiting on a traffic light
Neither of those things is true

no u

>>28705735
some cars with stop/start function come with two batteries, so sort of true actually
haven't heard of them getting uprated starters, but modern electric motors are very reliable so it probably doesn't matter

>>28706181
Also how much stress can a 1.5L engine really be putting on that starter motor? It's not it's cranking a high compression big block seventeen times a drive cycle.

>>28706181
i don't get it.
you're adding a ton of added complexity and cost to save a MINISCULE amount of gas.
this has to be about cheating CAFE standards right?
>well in our estimation the average american sits in traffic at idle approximately 2 hours a week
or somesuch?
Rural chads keep winning.
when you live in a town with 2 stoplights, and 99% of your driving is on 55 mph 2 lane rural roads, such a feature is such a pointless joke.

>>28700187 (OP)
That’s how you know that car is being driven by a woman or a soiboy and you should get as far as possible from them.

>traffic light turns green
Our city starts the pedestrian crossing light 3 seconds before the green. So you can watch that and get a jump on the light.

I was on vacation in scottland these last three weeks and you heard it constantly. I do like how their lights will turn the red and yellow on to let you know the light is changing soon.

>>28700207
>traffic light turns green

FTFY

One time someone honked at me while the light was red and I nearly drove out into traffic like a retard

>>28700187 (OP)
Kek it feels so good leaving the light first like 50 cent while those cringelords in their new cars have to crank up again.
