re: Stopping at Yellow Lights

sounds like a great idea

I wouldn't.... I was trying to sound cool

Do they not require drivers ed way down south?

Sometimes I will stop on a yellow I feel is about to turn or don't take a right on red with a small window to do so and feel bad about the guy behind me...then I remember that if I crash my car, he will give zero fricks about me and pay for zero of my damages.

I got to look out for me in that instance.

Stupid red light cameras have people conditioned to jam on their brakes at the faintest sight of yellow, even in places where no logical human being could ever reasonably think there would be a camera. It's infuriating.

I nearly rear ended a Sequoia yesterday because they came to a complete stop while turning right. Apparently the driver knew the person turning left, but the cars coming from the opposite direction weren't stopping. Instead of giving up and turning, they fricking sat there in the lane until the person could pull out. I hope they went out this morning to 4 flat tires. Disregarding traffic laws to "be helpful" is absolutely a way to get killed or seriously injured.

I got a reckess driving in Kentucky that way. Prissy woman stops in heavy traffic at 50 mph due to seeing cop at intersection.
I go around her into the grassy area between 4 lanes and through the light still not yet red.
My passenger thanks me for saving his life. We would have been crashed from behind.
They put me in jail until my passenger paid my fine.
