Looking both ways even when the light is green has become a habit of mine.
Over forty years ago my lead foot saved my life. I was first off the line and I punched it when the light turned green. Just as I crossed the intersection I saw a car in my rear-view mirror whiz past through the red light at ~80MPH. If I had been slower, I would be dead.
- hackeraccount 4y agoYou might be right but I wouldn't take it as certain. My uncle once told me it takes two people to cause an accident by which I mean it's at least possible the red light runner saw you - if you had been slower maybe they would have done 120MPH and gotten ahead of your or maybe 60MPH and still ended up behind you. Who knows though - it's certainly true the road is filled with idiots. I almost got hit by a car a few weeks ago because I stopped in the middle of intersection two avoid a bunch of knuckleheads on dirt bikes running a red light.
