Lady almost hits me... then smiles and waves!
« on: May 16, 2013, 04:57:58 PM »
Silly woman in a hurry to get home as she was turning into a neighborhood.  She runs her red light and almost hits me, then smiles and waves like we know each other or something. Grrrr...  Anyway, I have more videos on my YouTube channel if ya wanna look. http://youtube.com/sonicsix

Since you were already stopped, not much patience on your part either . . only had to wait a few seconds for the left-turn violators to clear.  Probably need to re-evaluate your "aggressive" riding style.

Here in Alabama, the green light means we can go.

I used to live and work in Birmingham, AL where I learned the local "5 second rule" that it is OK to roll thru red lights up to five second after they turn red!

LOL... but I am neither Republican nor Democrat.  I am an American and I vote for whoever I think will do the better job.  No sticker for that... :)

Same here, but I usually let others go first... just in case...

A green light means it's OK for you to proceed. . . after the intersection is clear of oncoming traffic.  You started before the intersection was clear and would've been ticketed if there had been an accident.

Don't fret folks, I am not about to cause an accident especially when I am on the scoot.  If I thought there was ANY chance of her hitting me, I would not have proceeded.  And I can guarantee I would not have been ticketed if she broadsided me...
