Most junctions are 'give way' which surprisingly means you dont have to stop i.e. on approach to a roundabout. Majority of rear end crunches occur when car at the front hesitates then brakes to a stop at the last second. Better to correctly time speed on approach while LOOKING and then merge in traffic if its safe. Auto's great for this.
Many people cant / dont like this and and some, I have to say it , women drivers mostly see it as an opportunity for a rest and make up time.
But its really down to skilled experience. Probably why road planners block visibility on approach to make drivers stop (coz they cant then see until at the junction) which causes the queues we see daily.
Traffic lights are just a means of taking the decisions away from drivers. (great for those that cant make any).
And you should always knock it out of gear to avoid lurching even further if bumped from behind.
