Red light runner -- got him.

[travelingtypist]

I was debating taking the yellow after the car in front of me, but I decided to be good and stop. Good thing I did. To my left on the opposite corner was sitting a motorcycle cop. So as the light is cycling through, I'm sitting thinking please, come on, get one. Sure enough, my light was green when this big tan SUV goes breezing by on a red left arrow. He got a ticket, nyah-nyah.

I'm feeling a little bad for being so tickled about it, but only a little.

1. Around here when the light goes green

You look first before going. At least 3 vehicles will go through the red, including cops and buses.

2. "My brother Paddy might be coming down the other street."

(Old Pat and Mike joke about why Mike runs through red lights and stops at green lights.)

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. LOL! Indeed. That's one reason I never go when the light turns green

without making sure that everyone has stopped from the cross-directions.

9. Seriously (for once)...YES!

I never EVER trust the bastards.
I've seen too many idiots blow through a 'new' red.
:grr:

4. Those intersection cameras in Houston are curing that problem real quick

I've paid a couple of those tickets in the last year and now I always stop on the yellow.

6. Yeah, but they're mega creepy.

And studies are dubious as to whether they actually prevent accidents.

5. "A light's not red until three cars have gone thru it."

That's what we used to say in New Jersey when I lived there (30 years ago).

7. I absolutely hate those redlight cameras. That said...

.
...I laugh and laugh and laugh like some sort of idiot
when the light turns red and all you see is, "FLASH!!
FLASH-FLASH!!! FLASH-FLASH-FLASH!!! FLASH!!"
.
.
Geez... I'm laughing hard now just thinking about that.

8. I wouldn't feel bad at all.

I see some of the worst, most inconsiderate driving going both to and from work, but mostly to. It is unfuckingbelievable the shit people pull that could get someone killed. I sat at a red one morning and watched three people in other sides of this same intersection run reds. :eyes:
