Honk means "pay attention". If the light has been green long enough for me to honk at you you're not paying attention to anything on the road, danger or otherwise.

    For you specifically, maybe. Your experience is not universal and the original discussion was about people who honk instantly.

    the original discussion was about people who honk instantly.

    The top of this thread is someone saying they don't know if you're paying attention. I was replying to your comment about "honking meaning move immediately."

    Conversations shift as people say things. If I wanted to comment on the original discussion I would have started a new thread relplying to the original discussion. I was replying to you about the thing you said.

    I took it as: The OP is about honking instantly.

    The top of the thread is trying to justify impatiently honking immediately. "I'm impatient and idk why you aren't moving immediately!"

    Hence my response that they could just have a slower reaction time to the light turning.

    So when you say "if the lights been green long enough"

    I reply about how "green long enough" is subjective and the thread is biased towards the an Immediate honk.
