Red Liight! Green Light! Near death.

It happened so fast I didn't have time to do that. It only scares me in retrospect. Just be as careful out there as you can and pray and count to 3.

Where the fuck were those traffic cops?

[fett]

See my other thread. They can't be everywhere. If that collision would have happened there would have been cops everywhere. And paramedics trying to get my dead ass out the van. I 'Dodged a real bullet. That's a My Van pun. Cyg, you really did it now.:ROTF::ROTF::ROTF: I am so happy to be alive.

Didn't you see the same hearse twice the other day?

That means you've got one more "close call" coming, so keep the eyes open.

Hey, I'm not very good at the written pun.
Somehow, for me, it comes across much better in casual conversation.

Glad the tubes got here before the trainwreck. Hopefully you got the amp in the mail, too. Just kidding!
You are a treasure, fett. Keep an eye out for yourself.
Damn, now you're making me do it.

[fett]

Thanks for reminding me. I just about got kicked to the coiffin corner. OH NO!!!!!! Another pun.

Man, I overlook an intersection where that happens almost daily, actually t-bone-age is about once a month. Same situation - someone runs the red light and almost takes out the guy turning left...I'm surprised that they miss more often than not!

[fett]

164th is worse that Clarnount Mesa Blvd. (sp). I lived in SD in the '70's. I can't imagine what the traffic is like there now.

We've got an intersection out in a rural area called "Fatality Corner" because every year someone dies in it. Tragic stuff.

...The number is 3. Not 2. Not 5. 3....

And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

[nhspike]

LOL Free!!!!


Count, don't count... 2, 12, whatever... just LOOK before you leap

I've seen people drive through red lights on 6 before... they are just not paying attention anymore... texting... dialing... talking... makeup... anything but driving.

:/

That's a Grail of a post me friend.

I just drove the same road today. That SOB had a 5 second yellow. That prick had all the time in the world to stop. That 5 second yellow and the 3 second Red that he ran has me really pissed off.

[maj.kalishnakov]

i drive a cement truckfor a living, at 55 mph it takes me 150 YARDS to come to a dead stop when fully loaded.so you can bet its "puckertime" when coming up to a stale green light. the best thing to do is is just stop for the yellow if ya can. you`ll still get to where you want go, you`ll just live longer thats all.

[fett]

This was no stale green light. I tried to time the 3 seconds feet wise. About 200 feet. Then I saw how long the yellow lasted. This motherfucker just about killed me. He was so wrong but for that 1 second he would have.
