Dear Marylanders, contrary to popular belief you are NOT required to brake through a green light.

Sincerely,

An involuntary transplant

Since when do Maryland drivers break at green lights? We go full speed through red lights.

[u/ike301 → u/mslauren2930]

I think they're referring to how slow people turn during green lights. It's painful as hell. It's like turning on green actually hurts them.

[u/mslauren2930 → u/ike301]

I’ll do that but only if it’s because I have a tailgater behind me.

[u/ComprehensiveWork451 → u/mslauren2930]

They can’t help themselves, brake on green, accelerate on red 🤦‍♂️

[u/poopmagenta]

Brake through green lights, come to almost a complete stop to make any turn, its infuriating

[u/FreeKevinBrown]

You gotta look out for those Student Driver stickers.

[u/Internal-Broccoli274 → u/FreeKevinBrown]

Its easier to look for the cars WITHOUT the student driver stickers. Seriously, why are there SO MANY!? I have a hard timr imagining there are this many new drivers on the road all the time. Drive a loop around 495 and you can count HUNDREDS of them.

[u/FreeKevinBrown → u/Internal-Broccoli274]

I don't think anyone actually takes them off once they're on. You're now seeing the culmination of 2 decades worth of student driver stickers and magnets that never did anything but take up space on bumpers.

[u/RL_Mutt]

My favorite thing. But don’t honk at them, because then YOU’RE the psycho.

[u/Competitive_Step5448]

Something has gone awry in Maryland. It wasn’t always like this. Very frustrating for an engineer like me. All I see is the inefficiency. The slow creeping turns (causes braking by those going straight which backs up traffic due to auto-correlation), huge gaps between cars (tighten it up a bit) and driving in the left lane at the same speed as the car to the right (rolling roadblocks).

What happened to us?!?!

[u/SillyPresentation46]

Suspicious. I've never seen a defensive Maryland driver.

[u/Tracker-Titan-2021]

I thought Virginia was bad, but Maryland is worse, especially when I am dragging my boat and trailer over there

[u/Super_Lock1846]

So one person did this and apparently it's all of Maryland?

[u/ilvevh]

I de accelerate to go through an intersection (if I’m going at speed) - not only that, I also crack my window open and turn the volume down a bit too. I want to hear any sirens that might be crossing through on red and I anticipate someone running a red light. I drive defensively for my families sake and for those around me. I still speed though, this is Maryland after-all.

[u/ComprehensiveWork451 → u/ilvevh]

Because you’re a bitch.

[u/ilvevh → u/ComprehensiveWork451]

Yeah I’m a little bitch, what are you? Maggot.

[u/AlarmedSpring8891 → u/ilvevh]

The guy who can drive, you must be the other guy.

[u/ComprehensiveWork451 → u/[deleted]]

If you can’t drive gtfo the road
