Do you remember the childhood game “Red Light, Green Light”? I do. I used to play it all the time.
Sadly, though, it seems like drivers around where I live play a slight variation of it. Green light means go as fast as you can. Red light does, too.
When approaching an interesection, driviers pay no attention at all to the light and whizz through. Green light? Yea! Red ligjht? Same as the green one. I cannot tell you how many red lights I have seen run, how many close calls happened and how many accidents happened.
The police? Hah. I’ve seen red lights run right in front of a police cruiser with impunity. More than once. More than twice. A lot of times.
Maybe it’s just where I live and drivers near you follow the basic rules of the road. I hope so. I hope all drivers aren’t this bad.
As for me, well, I just try to pay attention and hope I get where I am going.
