I'm not a lawyer, but you rewrote the phrasing a bit, in my opinion making it a little less correct. To my knowledge, there is NO law saying that only one car is allowed in an intersection, green light or not. It would be silly. However, the op said 'prohibited from entering the intersection until it's clear', which while still not correct, is closer.
The actual rule would be Section 545.302 (3). Which bans, among other things, stopping in an intersection. As such, entering the intersection when your exit is obstructed such that you will probably have to stop, will probably result in you having to commit an illegal action(stopping).
Thing is, most people don't anticipate a vehicle stopping immediately AFTER clearing an intersection unless there's a line of traffic ahead of them, so can be shocked if a car does so.
And yes, I have stopped before an intersection when it was likely that I'd be stuck in the intersection when the light changed. I've also seen cops give tickets for people blocking the road by being in the intersection stuck in traffic when the light changes.
If I see a line of traffic where there's a good chance that traffic will stop after clearing an intersection, I'll stop before that. However, if there's only one car ahead of me, I might not. As you said, stopping immediately after an intersection isn't normal behavior, and most drivers aren't prepared for that.
I had this electrical problem once. The sparky came over, told me it was a huge job, was going to cost thousands to fix. I found out he'd worked on several neighbor's electricity and messed things up terribly. Maybe the guy on the street, despite his lack of experience, won't do any worse and hopefully better, than that experienced person that has a history of causing problems.
I don't trust ANY single source for news. I try to read multiple sources, and I prefer discussion sites like/. where if they try to shove bullshit at us, half the readers will call them on it.
I expect I'll probably get killed by some old woman driving into me while texting with one hand, applying makeup with the other, and eating a Big Mac with her foot. That's my biggest fear. ISIS ranks somewhere below getting eaten by a shark - in Missouri.
I've never lost any files. I did, however, get a scare when a stupid UI change had what I thought was "MY Documents" showing the files in "Not Really My" stuff on a Cloud. For a second I thought I'd lost the stuff on my local machine, but it turned out it was still there, I just had to reach it via "This PC" because "My Documents" now pointed to OneDrive. Needless to say, the OS involved wasn't Linux, or even Apple.
Bingo! When I get home, I just plop into my chair, turn on the tube, and yell at Mr. O'Reilly. I've been using my brain all day and I want to just relax.
Maybe your car's voice system is better than mine. I can receive calls from my phone while driving, but the last time I tried to make a call, I was soon uttering words that no car system would understand. Luckily I was doing it from a driveway before actually getting on the road.
I've never told my GF my phone pin, but she'd probably get it on the first or 2nd try, just because she knows me well enough to guess. My only reason not to hand her the phone to answer a text for me would be that it might be too distracting digging it out of my pocket in traffic.
It's very easy to use the most visible difference. "Wheelchair Jason" might also be "Smart-ass Jason", but the chair is more visible. Likewise for "Black Jason", unless he's in a wheelchair, in which case the latter is what might get focused on.
Due to a mixup, I was without regular wired internet for about a month and used my cellphone as a hotspot. It cost an arm, a leg, and a few internal organs. Definitely not feasible long-term!

Good point. If people are going to have sex in a moving car, it should be self-driving.

Just not brain cancer - some folks think it might make people temporarily stupid - that's a joke there son....
And I was ready to make the "Correlation Causation" statement. ;)

My first car felt like it was falling apart at 45! Actually, my first car had pieces falling off it when it was sitting in the parking lot!!
But she is making those growling noises at her laptop!

One of the problems with healthcare is, the average doctor is mediocre. Half of them are below average!
If people are going to have sex in a moving car, I'd rather it be an autonomous car.
It would have been fine if they were raising the kid in the Klingon Empire.
It was a vegetable 10 years ago. 5 years ago, it had rotted and was really starting to smell.
I'm not sure a criminal conviction would stop Hilary.
The bad thing is, these days Cthulhu IS the lesser of the evils!
yep, put there your login and password to check it out!
LOL!
"Have I been pwned?"
"You have now!"

Driving 20 MPH in a 50 MPH zone is actually quite dangerous contrary to what they seem to think.
Totally agree! However, driving 50 MPH in a 20 MPH zone is also dangerous.

I bet you'd say this and then promptly go marry a Filipino woman who only wants you for your money.
Only if she were studying to be a nurse to recover from her bad choices.
Also, when the subject of a prenup comes up, they'll bat their heavily made-up eyes and say "Oh honey, you don't need a prenup. You can trust me!".
Depends on the BBQ. Most restaurant BBQ smells great, but my neighbor's backyard BBQ just plain stunk. Not as bad as cigarettes, but it still stunk.
