City.</span> <span data-start-time='6313' data-end-time='13396'>He is an experienced driver in a city known for its severe traffic jams.</span> <span data-start-time='13396' data-end-time='18771'>Forman started driving a taxi in 2005.</span> <span data-start-time='18771' data-end-time='24042'>Then, he switched to the ride-sharing service.</span> <span data-start-time='24042' data-end-time='37771'>He said he got the idea to see how many green lights he could make it through without being stopped by a red light, when he saw a video in 2014.</span> <span data-start-time='37771' data-end-time='43313'>One driver made 55 straight green lights.</span> <span data-start-time='43313' data-end-time='50917'>Forman thought he could get through more intersections than that without stopping.</span> <span data-start-time='50917' data-end-time='58500'>So one day, he made a video of himself driving and posted it on YouTube.</span> <span data-start-time='58500' data-end-time='63042'>He got more than 100 lights that time.</span> <span data-start-time='63042' data-end-time='73292'>After reaching a red light, he continued on, and made it through 76 more lights without stopping.</span> <span data-start-time='73292' data-end-time='80521'>Inspired by his first try, Forman thought he could do even better.</span> <span data-start-time='80521' data-end-time='85229'>So in early December, he tried again.</span> <span data-start-time='85229' data-end-time='92229'>This time, he made it through 236 lights in a row.</span> <span data-start-time='92229' data-end-time='100458'>The drive covered almost all of Manhattan&rsquo;s East Side and took about 27 minutes.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky'
