No no, you can't disrupt the "it'll never happen to me" delusion. Clearly the OP planned to crash, which was the only reason he needed the helmet.
Why don't you losers go start a thread about whatever you want to pontificate about this time over in A&S and quit f'ing up informative threads here with your BS. Even my humor is wearing thin with you wannabe preachers. Thank you.
To the OP: Glad you're OK. From your scenario I'd agree that the driver was futzing around and never noticed the light change, let alone you or your wife...even after he finally noticed the light had changed and gunned it. The lessons you took from it are sound...always plan for Murphy!
