I just want to make one thing perfectly clear: I suck.
Moral: It's not just cars, there can be pedestrians "hiding" behind the lamp post, the light and crosswalk may be there for a REASON, at the very least slow the heck down and look around!
Man I feel bad.......
Just curious?
If it was a car which jumped the red light and almost hit you would you have had the same attitude and said you where 'hiding'?
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't stop lights there for a reason? Shouldn’t you always STOP and not “at least just slow down"?
