Why do people maintain their speed to red lights?
Post Body
Whenever I see a red light or stop I will let off the gas well in advance and coast as much as possible in gear, so that I slowly slow down naturally. This minimizes the amount of energy lost to braking and increases the chance that it will be green when I get there, and decreases the time I will have to idle at the light.
What most drivers I see do, which is keeping the gas pressed until they absolutely must stop. Why?

Those little "blind spot" convex mirrors work pretty well for this. They won't get 100% of their own light back, a good amount back. I usually put them near the top of my brake lights. I don't have too many issues with brights/tailgaters anymore.
