Another good reason to leave a decent amount of space in front of you when you're stopped at lights: you can then slowly roll up to the vehicle ahead that hasn't spotted the traffic moving off and legally give them a toot.
Using your horn with aggressive anticipation. Not a good move. I would argue that every driver on the planet and beyond has been slow away from traffic lights.

Yes, many times. But it is not high on my list of driving irritations. In fact it's not on the list.
