why do people slow down when going through green lights?

Answer 1

Because, the homeless bum on the corner has a funny sign to read! lol

Answer 2

Sometimes people from the oposite side do not stop at their red lights so I always slow down a little just to make sure no-one from the other side tries to sneak through and crash into me. Hey, it's happened to lots of other people!

Answer 3

Becuz a RETARD might be running the red light and BAM! Slowing down gives a better opportunity to make an evasive maneuver.

Answer 4

LMAO! In San Jose? Are you sure? I see at least 2 people speeding through red lights every morning on the way to work.

Answer 5

Because so many idiots run red lights that you have to watch for cross traffic even when you have the green light.

Answer 6

Sometimes I catch myself going thru at a reduced speed because I am watching the intersection & making sure no oncoming traffic is coming. I gues I instinctively slow down.

Answer 7

Some people run through red lights. You have to be careful sometimes. :)

Answer 8

I got hit by a red light runner...in San Jose, no less. tends to make one not take a green light for granted.

Answer 9

I've slowed down to the actual speed limit, in case there are police.

Answer 10

I guess for the same reason then start driving once the light turns red.

Answer 11

They're just being extra-careful since there may be reckless drivers out there who might whiz past the red light at the intersection.
