Just gonna say that no one into cars that I know guns it from a red light because they think it'll get them anywhere faster. It's just because it makes us happy to do that. You're laughing at something we don't care about at all.

Even if you do care about that, it's not like gunning it never succeeds in getting you just past the next light before the red either.

Also, personally, it's much more comfortable to be at the front of the pack where I'm free to move, rather than being blocked in on all sides where my options to avoid an accident are constrained. This is honestly what I don't get the most about people who are part of rolling roadblocks. If an animal or person runs into the road ahead of you, you have literally nowhere to dodge besides braking and hoping.
