I'm kidding. Mostly.
Right now, where I live, it's an ubiquitous problem - probably 90% of the lights I'm at, someone runs the red light. And it drives me absolutely crazy how people so blithely run them - when they've got kids in the car, even! The other day, a lady in a suburban ran my green light - that had been green for over the '3 second' rule they teach in drivers ed (Do they still teach that? I dunno..I'm old). And she wasn't even speeding! Gah.
And our city doesn't want to do anything about it - they've been hit with so many lawsuits lately that I think they're just afraid someone else is going to sue them if they install those red light 'gotcha' cameras. Sigh.
I know what you mean. Here, the yellow lights are insanely long, and people still run them. Yesterday, when we were going to Mass, someone ran the light, so it's a good thing I'd hesitated before going!
ReplyDeleteIt's unbelievable! I suppose when someone gets killed they might do something about it.
