I Just Messed Up Bigtime.. Anyone Guilty of Doing This..?

About an hour ago, i was in a 4 way intersection, which is pretty crowded. I was on a two lane road, at a stop light. The lane to left has a light, so do i. The lane to the left of me got the redlight with a green arrow. I made the mistake of going through my redlight because i'm an idiot, thank god i look all ways when driving, because man that could have been bad.

In reality though, i couldn't have gotten into an accident because all the lights on all intersections are red when that one green arrow appears, so technically i just drove while everyone watched me and probably said DUMBASS.

This was, i can't even decribe it, such a dumb fu**ing thing that happened on my part. If i could kick myself in the ass i would, about 100 times.

PS, the thing that distracted my awareness was a really nice SVT stang, it through my senses off.. One second i'm looking at this hot car to the left of me, and the next i'm rolling past the red light.

Admit to me your mistakes, if you made any.

Feel free to call me what ever you want, i deserve it.

Shit happens i guess, but man i feel like shit over this.

As long as you didnt wreck anything and nothing wrecked you, dont worry about it. Ive accidentally run a red before. Mistakes happen. Dont beat yourself up about it.

Thanks man, yeah i have the tendency to be hard on myself.

That's not as bad as me gawking out the window at a car loaded with 4 hot girls as I rear-ended a nice family in a cavalier.. only damage was me putting two license plate bolt holes into his bumper :lol:

Theres this pretty big four lane road near my house. I had never driven on it before, and as I was heading east on it I didn't realize there was a 4 way stop at this intersection. I went right through, 35 miles an hour. Luckily the van that had the right of way saw me. He honked, and I felt like shit. You just have to get over it and not beat yourself up over it.

LOL Ricochet, thats some classic shit man :-)

Good thing you didn't hurt anybody, even yourself. Also good thing your car is still fine.

Well you didnt wreck any cars and you admitted so your fine...

I've done simular stupid shit too. I used to live in a neighborhood where my street and the towns by-pass road turned into an intersection. Now the by-pass is a busy road because so many people use it instead of the towns main street. There are few lights on the by-pass and the speed limit is 50 mph, unlike driving through town. Well, on my way to work I would be driving down my road all tired eyed and whatnot. Many times I failed to stop at the intersection and I just kept driving. It wasn't on purpose, I just wasn't fully awake and my attention span was nill. But when I think about it, I was lucky as hell that some truck driver didn't hit me doing 50+ mph.

I haven't ran a red light. But the other day I was in a 4 lane road, divided into 2 by a concrete median. Anyway, in the left lane there's this car infront of me going 10 under, won't fucking move and this truck in my blind spot thats just sitting there. So I couldn't get into the right lane and go around that asshole in front of me. Well we came to an exit and I swear I saw the truck move to the right like it was getting off the exit, so I waited a sec and then flipped on my blinker and looked back and didn't see anything so I moved over and passed the car that was infront of me and then moved back into the left lane. Well after I was back in the left lane I glanced in my mirrors and saw the truck sitting in the right lane. I probably almost hit the persona nd scared the fuck out of them and I felt horrible. But goddamn that person had been sitting in my blind spot for over 5 miles at that point. And I really could've sworn he/she got off on the exit. I felt horrible though.

Those blind spot drivers are jerkoffs. You have to realize that your *possibly* not of the other drivers presence. Either speed up, or slow down, don't remain in the blind spot.

down my road I make a left, it's only a green yield sign but b/c across the street it's a small court and no one barely ever leaves. I go down that road all the time, and I usually make a left turn without ever needing to yield b/c no one leaves. So out of habit, right when it turns green I make a left right away. One time I was in a hurry to get to my friends, and when it turns green there was actually a car on the other side going foward. So my dumbass almost hits him, about half a foot away, he honks me, and me out of routine thinking I had the right of way, honk back. We honk at each other back and forth like 3 times then I just make my left while he's still caught in the intersection. Then i realized he had the right of way and that I was the dumbass. Oh well, live and learn, I now yield at that stop light

Once I knocked over my over size drink from Taco Bell while driving. I lean over to pick it up from the floor. As I look up, I see the traffic is stopped. I hit the brakes and slide right into the back of the car in front of me.
I actually stomp on the clutch and brake pedals so hard I bent the clutch linkage in half. That really impressed the investigating officer.

Haha the whole red light thing just reminded me...

Once I was cruising home from a friend's house at 2 am. I'm tired as hell and not the most attentive. Anyways, I came up to an intersection, just tiredly assuming I could go through it. About 20 feet from the intersection, I saw my light was red - I slammed on the brakes, locking all 4 wheels, skidding to a halt just about into the intersection. I burst out laughing at myself - t'would have been very embarrasing if it were earlier in the day and people had seen. Anyways, there wasn't a soul on the roads and I had to wait at that red light for over a minute :mad:

Thinking of waiting at red lights late at night when no one is around - has anyone ever been waiting to go straight at a red light (with no one around), made a legal right turn, performed a u-turn on that street, and then taken that direction's green light to make a right turn and continue along your way? Lol I've done that a few times. :D

Also, once I was behind this Honda Oddyssy at a stop sign, waiting to turn right. The traffic coming from the left gets a large clearing in it, with the next car quite a long ways back. I see the Honda start to move, so I move ahead a few feet, stop again and just verify that the car approaching from the left was still a considerable ways away. Confirming this, I start letting the clutch out to make my turn, when THUD. The damn Honda was still sitting there. She could have gone 18 times before that car arrived at the intersection......Anyways, I felt super stupid from that. Making me feel even more stupid, I had assumed the car had stalled when I bumped the van, and since the old Escort didn't have a tach, I figured my assumption was correct and turned the key again...GRRRRRRRRRRRIND...oops.

The woman driving the van was from Quebec and spoke like 12 English words, making her difficult to deal with. She'd also just bought the van the previous week. No damage to either vehicle though, we just went our separate ways...

I have done some stupid shit before, not just while I was driving, but everyone is guilty of it

solaris=amazing your pretty good at pinstripping

^I think you mean KustmAce

pinstripping..?

stripping with pins. kinda kinky

c i do stupid things, yeah i ment him i was just lookin at solaris=amazing's name and every thing just seems to blur together

o yeah i cant speel worth shit

I've accidentally ran a red before. I felt like shit but I eventually got over it.

My buddy was casually driving down a two lane road and was checking himself out in the rearview mirror.. then he rearended a semi-truck. Not the brightest guy ;).

lol Ricochet I tip my hat to you sir.
I'm sure it all would of been worth it though if you could of got one of the girl's numbers out of the thing.

Important thing is that you learned from it and no one got hurt. Take 1/2 sec to check your own light before roaring off next time.

I've done it. :)

Ive done it too, I think everyone has at some point or will at sometime in their lives. THe important thing is the there wasnt a cop around...... :uhoh:

Cop or no cop, no injuries best outcome. You can get your license back, but you can't get a life back.

(but a tickie would suck....)

my friends have caught me tons of times late at night, ill stop at a redlight and then just go as if it were a stop sign. 75% of the time i dont even notice....which is kinda weird cause im usually a really good driver and always paying attention.

My brother who is 5 years my senior has a tendency to treat red lights as stop signs. He stops, checks traffic, then proceeds across the intersection. He's done it at least 10 times with me in the truck with him, who knows how many besides that. Its pretty funny really, well after we survive anyhow.

Thats for sure. There are such things as nice mustangs. :grineyes:

Some stupid sh*t-me and two of my boyz were drinkin and whatnot by a fire. My one boy gets a call from some girls in a nearby town that wanted to be picked up. We got in my other boyz' car that wasn't insured and had no gas. so, we drove to the nearby town doing at least 50mph,ran every stop sign & traffic light that we came across. That was the scariest car ride I was ever in! But not the last.

I had a guy run a stop sign today at a 4 way stop. I came up to the stop, going to go through straight. So I stop and right before I stop a person on my right stops, so he/she goes first. So they go and I start to go cause its my turn and the guy behind that car just went and turned left across infront of me. Had to hit the brakes and I think he realized what he'd done, because he looked all apologetic. Just glad we dind't hit. I think I would've flipped.

my aunt owns a 1984 SVT mustang 5 speed
goddamn that thing will go :biggrin:

i ran threw a red light with a cop sitin on either side of the street........

bad thing to do but they didnt fine me just basicly cussed me out
hahaha

PS: as my dad always told me ur alowd to run 3 red lights a day
(as long as u dont get caught)

Sadly i somewhat know the feeling. my friend and i were in his 92 buick regal (which he thought was bad ass, i thought was sad ass) and as usual he was trying to show off. we were at a red light in the far right lane. a car full of younger girls pulled up next to us. he started waving and smiling like he was all that, and reved the engine up. then he decided to be a smart a$$ and spun the tires, while staring at them. funniest thing was when he forgot he was at a light or something and let of the brake but kept spinnen em. we shot right out into traffic, and had to stop midway through because a truck was coming. the car load of girls was laughing the truck driver was honking and telling us we were number 1, yeah ok he wasn't, and tim and i were left feeling like complete idiots.

We have all done some really DUMB stuff, learn from it, God has a way of weeding out those that refuse to learn ....... Those that say they haven't done any dumb things, LIE

i was pumping gas one time and all i had was 5 bucks but when i started pumping these 2 hot chicks started fighting in front of the store, one of their shirts was ripped off and i was just staring. i heard a clicked and looked over and i had $27 dollars worth of gas.

All of the lights in our town but one turn green right after the yellow, so I'm sittn at the main intersection, i see yellow, Lookn' at the nice ass convertible w/ a couple of gals in it, it turns red, i just take off, i look up and i'm goin through a red light i was like SHIT :banghead: but i'm lucky a semi didn't decide to rush through a yellow and drill my ass.

Does anyone feel like this? People on the road now are lately, should i say, assholes. They speed up on your bumper, get beside you, pass, cut infront of you and slow down. Tell the trueth. What would you do? Me. Im just a psychotic driver. I just gradually speed up beside him, and act like im gonna hit him off the road. Then get infront of him and slam on brakes. Then speed off while laughing.

One time me and my girlfriend were going down the highway, with me driving. We stopped at a redlight and for reason we started argueing. The highway had 3 lights, 2 green lights to go on the highway and one on the far left for "turning". Well I was looking at my girlfriend talking to her and out of the corner of my eye I saw a light turn green. I figured it was my light, so I took off through the intersection while still talking to her. Come to find out it was the turning lanes light that had turned green and I had LITERALLY just ran a redlight with a cop in the lane right beside me. He pulled me over immediately, and proceeded to ask me if I was drunk or stupid. I kept calling myself a jackass and couldn't stop laughing at what I had just done. I felt like a pretty big ass. The cop gave me a ticket for it but I made a phone call and had the ticket fixed within the hour. Man did I feel like an ass though.

yeah I've been feeling that way lately. It just seems like people keep getting ruder and ruder, or paying even less attention. Hell today, I was going down this road there's a car in the right lane like 3 car lengths infront of me and I'm going faster than that car and without even a blinker the person just moves over right ifnront of me and I had to hit the brakes, and they slowed me down to below the speed limit and stayed in my lane for nearly a half mile then got over into a turning lane. I was like WTF? why could't they wait until I passed?

Then yesterday (I do a shitload of driving obviously) I was going down this highway in Washington, its Highway 3 or whatever, turns into Highway 16 before it hits the Narrow Bridge. Anway, in Bremerton Highway 3 or whatever goes from 2 lanes into 1 lane, and every motherfucker always gets in that right lane speeds to the front and then expects to get back into the left lane. So of course traffic always jams up right there and will come to a dead stop sometimes, etc. Thats one of my huge pet peeves is people doing this. So I get down to the obttom where that right lane runs out and this whore in her fucking SUV thinks I'm gonna let her in. NO WAY. I wouldn't ler her in, she tried to crowd me over off my lane, I wouldn't give in, I wouldn't even move, she came pretty damn close to touching my car. But I just fucking refused. And as I passed her when she ran out of room she flipped me off and I just made a Y with my fingers and wagged my tongue at her lol. I don't know why I did that, but I just found it funny at the moment, she didn't. And the car behind me didn't let her in either. So she got stuck and made that right lane come to a dead stop :evillol: :evillol:

I was so proud of myself :lol2:

The day before yesterday, I was on my way back to the dorms from my dad's shop, and I was going around this curve on the highway (like a "6+ opens"), and this lady turns left to get on the highway in the direction I'm going, and I think to myself "bah, she's gonna stop in the median and wait till I go by", (now, normally I would've changed lanes back to the right lane to let her in, but I had just passed somebody) but I was WRONG. She pulls out RIGHT in front of me doing like 5 miles an hour. At which point I stand on the brakes, and the backend comes around to the left (making the driver's side front door hit first had I hit her), so I countersteer, and when the ass-end snaped back, I jumped into the right lane, slammed on the gas (because the guy I passed was probably still back there), laid on the horn with one hand, and let her know she was number 1 (yes, you heard me right, "she", some dumb 60 year old bitch).
So, for the next half-hour or so, I was shaking like crazy.

The lane to the left of me got the redlight with a green arrow. I made the mistake of going through my redlight

my mom did that once, she saw the green arrow and started through the red light, it was funny, but she could have gotten all of us hurt, but still, it's funny how she reacted afterwards, she was yelling "omg, i cant believe i just did that"
