The same second? I agree. But even two seconds should be plenty to notice the light is green and begin accelerating. By second four, I’m giving you a gentle honk because I suspect you are either on your phone, or zoned out.
Every time I see one of these memes posted, I automatically assume it was some dill hole on his/her phone not paying attention and posts this to try to justify or feel better. I’ve never run into anyone that is that impatient at a light. People honk because you’re not paying attention, and in this day and age it’s usually peeps on their phone.
I would also assume this, if I hadn’t also repeatedly witnessed the exact behaviour the OP describes. The “instant honk on green” drivers also tend to follow up with whatever reckless maneuver allows them to beat you to the next red light by 1.5 seconds. Inattentiveness and impatience are both dangerous on the road.
I’ve seen people like that super often, I’ve never measured but I’ve probably seen impatient honkers more than I’ve seen actual distracted people at a light. Your experience is not global.

I honestly cannot believe you, simply due to the relevance world wide of those dash cell mounts.
You must live in Boston.
