Few and far between and are not the bulk of the problem. You guys are cherry picking.
There will always be outliers, but when the average age of a car is 11 years old you are going back to 2008.
There are plenty of outliers on here, but that is not bulk of the population.
The particular stop light in question, and going to slow causing a delay and backup at lights.
I am not talking about merge or riding someone's behind on the highway.
Only a few people have actually answered the question.
What is acceptable time to get up to 50 from a stop light on road with adequate traffic flow.
What is acceptable when someone pulls out in front of you? Should you have to hit the brakes? Should you not have to hit the brakes?
But acceleration rates do play a lot into it. Regardless of how fast a car is, or not, most drivers don't want to turn it into a raucous acceleration by driving their car too hard. Others are impatient and careless and floor it every time they can... then they jam on their brakes.
Ive noticed that the issue is a lot to do with distracted driving and being slow to respond when the light changes or the car in front starts to move. 1s delay times a ton of cars results in many seconds before any motion whatsoever occurs.
