You don't hit the breaks, you turn up the radio and follow traffic. Just cause he is impatient and being a knucklehead shouldn't affect your day. Let him go around you. He has the problem, not you.

I went through a driving school a number of years ago when I was working for a local utility company...it was company policy to follow this driving instruction to the "T". One of the regulations was to wait 2 seconds after the light turns green. "A green light is not a right" was the title of that section. Most accidents on city streets occur in an intersection and the average speed through an intersection is 50MPH. Just cause the light is green, waiting a couple of seconds protects you from the guy behind you's buddy that is trying to run the yellow but missed his timing and runs the red. Your life or the guy behind you getting annoyed...which is more important?
