Thread Name: BS: What is your RATIONAL fear?
Subject: RE: BS: What is your RATIONAL fear?
I have a VERY rational fear of people running red lights. This has gotten worse for 30 years as traffic in the Greater Wash. DC area gets worse. I have seen as many as 9 cars (in 2 lanes) run the light in left turn bays - and this is 100 yards from the police station.
I have twice seen a yellow light, slowed because I couldn't make it...and had some idiot pull around me and PASS me in order to run the red light!
I once was 1st in line at a red light...it changed to green...I began to move, but out of the corner of my eye I saw that this kid coming from my left was not GOING to stop. If I had not looked, I might be dead now.
I have watched huge trucks, city busses, police cars, taxis, bicycles and motorcycles run lights.....


I am looking for a sign for MY rear window that says "Caution - I brake for red lights."
