I don't get it???
« 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.......

are you white or white looking?  otherwise...cops don't like you. 

it's just what I've heard.  I'm white or white looking, so it's hard to tell.

i actually look like casper the friendly ghost.
