Re: Red means STOP!

some people need to be taken out and beaten. If he had hit you he would've been even more late. Gotta make sure..did you give him the old "you're #1" gesture? I usually do that, then catch up and give them lots of dirty looks so they know I'm pissed.

Re: Red means STOP!

Lol I just pointed at him and yelled obscenities as I was flooring it to get out of the way. A few months ago a pedestrian got hit by a Rolls. I need to move.

Re: Red means STOP!

Some dude in a truck almost smashed the side of a pickup and tipped on two wheels all because he was trying to speed past me and look like a bigshot.

Oh... and he was a pizza delivery guy. Hope those tips can cover medical bills

On that note, top is red, bottom is green, I remember when I was younger, my parents, sister and I got t-boned by a dude who was color blind, people need to learn that too, it was also his second accident due to running a red light too

Re: Red means STOP!

Gosh, I really can't believe i didn't remember this before, but i lost my mother and younger sisters to a guy who ran a red light. The idiot decided to light a marijuana pipe instead of watching the road and t-boned the geo prizm we were in at 55 mph (he was speeding too). Dumbasses.

Re: Red means STOP!

Just recently i was on the way home and the light was red, i was still a far way from the lights and decided I'd let the car roll to the lights because by the time i get there it would be green.
One of the cars from the street on the right went through the orange and it turned red while he was in the middle of the intersection then my lights turned green and a lady from the right came out of the street running the red only to have red & blues right behind her. turned out to be an old lady.

Re: Red means STOP!

I always liked George Carlin's line "don't you hate it when you decide to run the yellow light.... and the guy in front of you doesn't"

Re: Red means STOP!

I work in the city centre and right outside my work there's a set of lights where people are constantly running reds and looking at pedestrians crossing on the green man like they're the ones in the wrong. Even buses speed through reds. Surprised no ones been killed there.

Re: Red means STOP!

this is a serious problem in the town where my cousin lives. they just got their first traffic signal out on the state highway last fall and some of the locals who don't drive all winter don't even notice it and drive right thru it. the state had to put up temporary warning signs and flags this spring.

Re: Red means STOP!

Man running reds is such a bad problem where I live. I think the bigger the city the worse it is. It is not uncommon to see peopl run reds here 3 or more seconds after it has been red here. I see it almost daily, that is why you always got to double check before heading across (even though you should not have to). Be safe out there.
