I try not to think like that. My fiance does, I always tell her she's going to think about it so much she's going to cause herself to get in one.

the lights timing are tight at this intersection since the cars stop way off onto the left. You can see traffic is already starting to move when it turns red. But yea the other car kinda gunned it and was ahead of others. The support pillars also make it harder to see traffic on the side.

I want to turn in the footage to the police but at that location not sure where I would go to.

That's just not accurate. The light turns red at 17 seconds, it's 19+ before the first car is in the intersection, and 21 before the hit. She ran that light 3 full seconds after it was red. She had plenty of time to stop.

Not only women...a college friend was given a new Camaro as a graduation gift. He and a friend got plastered the night before graduation and ran over a line of wooden road marker posts. The car was a total loss. When his parents arrived that afternoon, his father drove him down to the Chevy dealer and bought him a replacement on the spot.

Got a new one today. Another old guy, apparently got tired of waiting at the stop sign for us who had the green light and decided he should just go.

Maybe this is just me talking from an area of this country known for being the most polite drivers. If you had made contact with that person, you would have been liable in just about every circumstance.

Did he pull out in front of you, yes... but not that bad. You look like you were speeding a bit and your reaction to him doing that was to speed up, cut the turn early and probably cut him off. You then hammer your horn for 10 seconds after the fact in a bit of road rage.

Your proper course of action should have been to slow down and let the guy go, he wasn't out to wrong you in life, its not a big deal. A toot of the horn would probably ok since he should probably be woken up to what he did. Then you just let it go... that kind of thing happens... lots of different skill levels on the road and you aren't king.

Lastly, please don't give us other Mustang owners a bad rep...

No, I will not slow down to let him cut in front of me. Why? Because then that teaches them that it is okay to ignore the stop sign and go as they please. It is principle of the matter. There are too many people here who think that everyone and everything should bow down to them, and that it is their right in life to get whatever they want whenever they want. Also there is a line of cars behind me, so I will not chance getting rear ended, and then causing a chain of accidents behind me, just so this old person can choose to go when they please.

And yes I honk my horn rapidly so I can make sure they know that I am displeased with their choices in life.

Hell no, I'm going to Neverland to become a lost boy and stop aging. Or if I get bit by a vampire before then, that would be good too.

in that guy's defense, he prob didnt see you and was prob just eyeballing that other guy that made a right and figured it was safe to go.

old folks just cant compute as many things in their head at the same time like they used to.

 

[yessirrom]

Some lane intrusions, no tail lights, passing on the right median, critters in the road...

 

[fionic]

ugh. I wish people paid attention.

probably shouldn't be behind the wheel of a motor vehicle then.

Completely agree. Should be a certain age of where you have to start taking a vehicle driver's test every couple years. Driver's test should require Driver's Ed IMO. I still don't understand to this day on how some people got their license.

same thing I posted yesterday. You're not able to drive the first 15 years of your life, your abilities should be tested the last 15 years as well, imo.
