Red means STOP!

Well I almost got hit by someone running a light on my way to class. Ive already gotten totalled once by someone doing that. Wtf is wrong with people. I dont care HOW much of a rush im in, i ALWAYS stop at yellow lights. Maybe I should have gotten hit so I can get a settlement lol.

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.

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. :frown: :cya:

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

i hate that.
sometimes when i'm bored i'll catch them and mess with them.
-getting in front of them and whatforth.-

Maybe they're color blind?:dunno:

Maybe they're color blind?:dunno: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

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.:shakehead

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.

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"

turned out to be an old lady.was it a little blue hired lady? In a big black oldsmobile?

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.

I hear Vegas has serious issues of people running reds.

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.

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.

Even buses speed through reds. Surprised no ones been killed there.

Busses here run reds all the time. i'm amazed i haven't seen more bus crashes. well, i did see a bus vs. pedestrian crash the other week. (yes, the bus won.)

You would think people would have enough common sense...but I guess not.

Instead of all the useless crap they show on TV they should show cars getting smashed running red lights. Maybe that will knock some sense into people. They need more of those red light cameras. I dont like driving around here because im afraid im going to get killed. Are there any places with open roads and not many people? :grinno:

i blame the ipod.

I remember a story that involved a woman who died after getting reversed into by a lorry because she couldn't hear the "beep-beep-beep".

i usually have my CD player when i'm out and about. but i don't have it loud enough that i can't hear traffic.

most of the pedestrian RTAs are people stepping out without looking. idiots.

that'd be the tourists in london then....

or the letches gawping at skimply dressed tourists.
i really have to reimind myself that i'm probably nearing 10 years older than those girls we get here in the summer....

Yeah, I noticed that during my stay in Vegas. There was a dumb bitch that honked me when I slowed down for a red light.

Talking about getting honked, I even got honked today because I was yielding to the traffic before making a left turn. :screwy: The lady behind me was getting really impatient throwing her arms up in the air till I shaked my fist at her.

Common sense is quite uncommon. :disappoin

My parents just went to Vegas and yes they said the traffic is awful. I think pretty much any crowded place is going to be bad. When I lived in New Jersey sometimes it looked as if the light never changed, people just kept going through regardless of the color.

I recommend Wyoming. :p

Common sense is quite uncommon. :disappoinYeah, I noticed.

My friend had her truck and trailer flipped over from someone running a light. Hit b/w truck and trailer.
