I do this with traffic. People edge their cars forward and I'll just sit there.
Where are you going? The light isn't any less red.
I always stop at intersections even if the light is green when it is clear that there's nowhere to go because traffic is backed up to a standstill. Where I come from people would honk at you and then pass you so that they can get stuck in the intersection and cause a traffic jam, then they give you the finger and scream at you out the window like its your fault.

Have you ever considered that this extends the backup for those behind you? That it actually does take time for your car to decelerate when you're stopping at the green light, in addition to the fact that it takes more time for multiple cars to pull off in series per car than just one? How about stop trying to be quirky and just go through the green light like a normal person?
Have you ever considered that in most places it's literally illegal to block an intersection, and that if there is not space to proceed through the intersection you're supposed to stop before it?
