Reasons you know that you have been sitting at that traffic light for way too much time:
Your radio plays the long version of Hotel California, in it’s entirety and the light still has not changed. :mad:
Your car warms up from a near cold state from stop to go.
Morning traffic passes by, then slows down to a trickle, still your light has not changed.
Well, you could do what my uncle did; he sat through about 8 revolutions of green to red.
The police finally got out of there car (they were behind him for most of it) and gave him a sobriety test. Which he failed.
He then got to the judge and said “But…but…I wasn’t driving”.
He got his license suspended and was thrown in jail.
Lol!
Probably would have freaked the cops out if he had actually been in the passenger side the whole time. 
I know I’ve been sitting there too long when I decide to run the light.
Of course, I only do this with the light leading out of my neighborhood that, for some reason, decides that anytime I try to escape the house by 6am, it won’t let me out of the area. I mean, the light will change 4-5 times for all sides of the intersection but mine. Gah!
LOL! Yes, he probably would have. Actually this all happened a long time ago. A little while after that incident he achieved a small amount of fame.
He had the highest amount of points on a license in northern va. So high was his points that he was used as an example in a driver’s ed video (or whatever those videos are called, the ones they make you watch for the class you take to get the points reduced). My mother was taking the class at the time, and they showed his face, gave a brief description, and then everyone turned and looked at her, because they both had the same last name (he’s my father’s brother).
She was mordified.
