That's real funny. I thought it was bicycles running those red lights.
You don't suppose, that a bicyclist might by chance know in advance that 7.5% of cars run the red lights?
I have heard a lot of complaints lately that bicycles run red lights.
But if one is driving a bicycle and he/she stops for a red light, wouldn't the chance of getting hit from behind by a car be about 7.5%? With 7.5% of motorists running the red light?
I can look left and right, but the car behind me is in my "blind spot".
