The problem is that some drivers get in the habit of actually speeding up for a light. My instructors called it “rushing the light”. Not saying this is what Jamie did because I’m sure he didn’t but sometimes we might even do it without realizing it. If we rush lights eventually we will get caught in an unwanted situation. Better to slow down, cover the brake and yes, we might have to stop for that light we hoped to make.
