Title: I don't get it???
Post by: missioncontrol on November 29, 2005, 12:58:25 pm
Last night on my way to work (it was raining) I stopped at a traffic light. When the light turned green I looked both ways then headed out into the intersection. This van runs their red light at a high rate of speed and narrowly misses the back of my truck.

There was a cop maybe four car lengths behind him and doesn't bother to chase him down but just takes a right at the same red light this guy ran. Yet just a few weeks before I get nailed with a speeding ticket for doing 60 mph just as the speed limit drops from 55 to 45 on a clear night with no other cars around  :-\

You're also smelly. This has nothing to do with the current topic. Just thought I'd mention.

you look both ways when the light is green?  i figure if you're already out in the intersection, you're f-ed anyway.

when the light turns green I check both ways before starting across because to o many people thing there's a 10 sec rule or something after the light turns red that they can still go.......

I know to many cops to think they're trustworthy people.  :police:
