I see people run stop signs almost daily. I work until midnight so I have to drive home when all the drunks are out. My biggest peeve though, is when people risk your innocent life and cut you off, then pull into their destination not half a mile ahead. Um, you saved how many seconds?

Here's a bit of trivia regarding GREEN lights.
They are not really Green in the truest sense of the word.
Men do not process the color green very well, so the lenses are done
in an off green color.
Red lights?
I dunno!![]()
There's a city not too far from me that I fear at stoplights. The most common problem?? Semi drivers!!! They see the yellow, or even red lights, lay on the horn, downshift to pick up speed and fly (well over the speed limit) right on through!! Now if I hear a semi horn I just sit at my green light and wait, it will be sailing through in front of me in a moment. I guess I should be thankful that they at least lay on the horn as a warning, not all red light runners will do even that.
If they could just have some type of solid barrier pop out of the street when the light turns red.....ahhh picture it: some moron flying through thinking he's gonna sneak through the light, up pops a solid wall, and whamo, he's a pancake with wheels!!
Agreed!!

In the first video, the guy that drives through the red and under the semi didn't appear to actually be trying to run the red. If you notice he had his brake lights on from the second he comes into the frame. However it's very wet and I'd imagine he didn't allow enough stopping time with slick roads. Driving too fast for conditions or not allowing enough time to stop is a cause of many wrecks also.
