When did a red light at an intersection become an optional stop? Has it been so long since I've taken the driver's test that the rules of the road have actually changed??
My mom and I were running errands the other day and I counted 5 -- F I V E vehicles that went through SOLID red lights - not pinky or orange colored -- RED!!! At one intersection it was actually 2 cars bumper-to-fender (not being towed) who went through practically attached! The first car was behind the intersection crosswalk when the light turned red - so why he and the car behind him thought they could legally, safely make it through the intersection I have no clue.
The other memorable Red Light Run was a SEMI!!! I stinkin' BIG honkin' SEMI!!! What in the world!! My mom and I had the green - but decided we should let him go. I know sometimes I'd like to be a little "flatter," but via semi squashing doesn't really sound appealing.
Maybe I've just been away from city intersections, and stop lights for so long that I just get way too worked up when fellow drivers don't do what they're suppose to -- not according to me -- according to the law! Thank you Lord for watching over us and keeping us safe on the road. :)

Hah! Remember driving with me in college days off to the nursing home? You'd almost be on the floor under the dashboard screaming...surely not over red lights I accidentally ran?! : )
