Look both ways, even if you have the green.

Some people just should not be allowed to drive. 
That video makes me angry. I don't care how much of an absent minded *** you are, or if you don't have time to stop for a light. If someone hit me or caused me to hit them, I would be FURIOUS!

I have to say, everyday I think about how 99% of people do not start to think about how dangerous their actions are and how, believe it or not a 2 ton SUV (or civic for that matter) is in fact a huge responsibility. All you have to do is look away for a second and you have killed some one who has a family to support. It is tragic, I firmly believe there should be some sort of IQ or competence test before you can drive. But where I live that would rule out 80% of troopers and sheriff's.

I will admit I ALMOST ran a red light once. I wasn't even being dumb and playing on my phone or messing with the GPS... I was just cruising in the miata and all the sudden I look up and there is a red light. I hit the brakes, locked up the rears for a sec and stopped just before the white line. I was scared shitless. Luckily the guy that had started to go in the street in front of me was actually not being a dumbass and saw me and stopped. Then gave me a "You are ******* stupid" look. Which I totally deserved. That definitely woke me about paying attention.

It absolutely makes my blood boil seeing a woman driving along in her giant SUV by herself, putting on makeup and talking on her cell phone running all off the road and ****. I want to float out of my car and up to her window and reach through and SLAP the **** out of her. Like Sam Jackson says in Die Hard 3, "GET OFF THE GOD DAMN PHONE!" 
Everybody has such damn important stuff to talk about. The only time I talk on the phone is if someone calls me, which is very rare, and then I keep it down to a very brief several word conversation. If it's important I tell them I will call them back later. I practice what I preach in this case.

This is the reason everything I've read about riding my motorcycle says "If you approach a green light that turns yellow, RUN IT."
Too many ******** out there that drop the hammer at yellow rather than slow/stop for it.
Anyone count how many of them were mommy mobiles? Vans/SUV's seemed pretty prevalent.

This is why I hate driving. There's always going to be people like this, and in bascially any car, especially our little cars, you're pretty fucked if someone t-bones you like what happened in that video. Even the most careful and observant of drivers can get fucked like this.

That **** pisses me off also. It is mainly how selfish all these ************* are. They feel driving is a right, not a privilege. The thing that pisses me off the most is when beeping at these dipshits they look at you like they are doing nothing wrong or sometimes will flip the bird. I generally take that as an invitation to **** with them.
