I'm a stickler as well (which sometimes bugs my wife when we are commuting on the tandem, but then she's more impatient than I). It's problematic enough to ensure a safe journey through the land of lumbering steel without spending the extra energy figuring out ways to "beat the system" while remaining intact. Two years ago a commuter on my route was run over and killed while performing the maneuver under discussion. I can handle the extra 10 seconds it takes to wait.
