Maybe had he not been staring at the light and stopped, he'd have seen all the warnings. Having rushed a light or two myself, I'm pretty sure the focus in on that.

Not a very good driver, are you?
Zagam@piefed.social 4 weeks ago
Me? Average. Maybe a little better than average. I've never been the driver in an accident. I've been pulled over twice. Once for a headlight out and once for doing 52 in a 45 (I suspect the bigger crime was it being a local on a road where the people that lived there routinely drive 60+), and my insurance usually goes down about every year or two.
But I've made a few mistakes, mistimed some lights, and forgotten to use my turn signal. But id say on the whole, I'm not too bad.

Do you mean if he wasn't staring at the red light? The light that means Stop? Maybe if he wasn't staring at the light telling him to stop immediately he might have stopped?

Are you suggesting had the driver seen the red light, he would have stopped? Like, in the world we live in, you truly think all the laws that get broken on a regular basis, people just wouldn't run a red? This is so naive it's adorable.

I really hope you still have your learners, and not your actual drivers license yet. Oof

Ok but hear me out... What if I reversed under the bridge?
