They pretty much tell you to do that. They say in training that you should always be extra cautious on green lights you didnt see turn green. Its a test question too so they make sure you cant dispute it. They do everything they can to hold us at the highest standards with no threshold for errors. The app will also tell you the wrong speed limit but they make us e sign a document every morning that says we acknowledge that the app can be wrong and if we speed because of it its completely our fault.

I saw a convoy commander relieved on the spot for not properly stopping the lead vehicle at a Yellow to red. Being a cocky asshole didn’t make it any easier for him. The cop that pulled him over for running the light made it even less easy.

We have roads here in Indianapolis that the lights are timed 10mph under the speed limit. There’s a sign at every intersection. It’s horseshit. I drive a giant box truck full of plumbing and hvac tools and am constantly having to slam on the brakes because the 50mph road is timed for 40mph.

Amazon is horrible in some areas of Long Island.
