Please STOP

One of my pet peeves is when someone drives through a red light. It’s not that the light changes and they are already going through it. It’s when the light turns red, and you can count to three and someone STILL drives through it… long after it turns red. The worst part is that it’s usually HUGE TRUCKS going through the light!!

I do not understand why people think this is okay. It's irresponsible and careless and could kill someone. Wait your turn, people! If the light is yellow when you're going through, fine. But if you actually see that it is red, stop. The people on the other side may not be as cautious as I am. If you’re waiting at a red light, it is worth waiting two or three extra seconds after the light turns green before moving if you want to save yourself and others from a car crash.

I learned from my mother years ago to always count to three after your light turns green before you drive, just in case someone is going to run the red light. Thank goodness I do that. I can’t tell you how many times I would have gotten in an accident (probably killed) if I hadn’t waited a few seconds. People drive well over the speed limit to make sure they get through that light… red or not!

Is it really worth running a red light if you end up getting into an accident? Ask yourself that before you run a red light. And think about your own family/friends as well. You’d be angry if something bad happened to them if someone else ran a red light and caused an accident.
