When approaching an intersection and the light turns to yellow. So you let off the gas and coast to try and time the red light turning to green. Continuing to go slower and slower and light doesn't change so the brakes are applied to stop. The very second you come to a complete stop the light turns green.

So you’re the ass that drifts to the stoplight? Meanwhile, I’m in a line of cars behind you and trying to get to where the separate left or right turn lanes begin but can’t reach them yet because you are coasting to a stop!

😁Remember, I live in Ottumwa. Traffic density is very low. Having said that I would do the same thing in a busier city. I have also hit the age when parking I don't care if its within the lines. Don't try to do it purposefully but if I'm off a bit the vehicle stays where it stops.

That's why you're supposed to "floor it" when the light goes yellow, Honus!

I try the same maneuver as the OP suggests. I hate using the brake pedal, lol. But if I see there are cars behind coming up fast I'll apply a little bit of gas. I'm such a good citizen!

Simple, when it turns yellow you floor it. No gears ground.

@THE_DEVIL , how are the roads there today? I'm heading your way in a few minutes for the night.
 
I do the same thing. Especially in my work truck. I’ll follow ALL rules of the road as well, knowing it’s irritating others on the road.
Complete stop with a one second pause at all stop signs and while making right turns? You betcha.
Set cruise for 4 mph over limit on two way streets really pisses people off, too.

This is a good way to eventually get T-Boned by a cross traffic car running a red light.
 
How about the opposite, people who accelerate nearly all the way to a red light before slamming on the brakes? Seems like a lot wasted gas and brake pads to me, and me no likey waste!
