To the person who used to or still post comments on this site, please step forward because I can't thank you enough for your insight on the "stale" green light. I also remember that you were a driving instructor as well. You taught me and others in this site to use our eyes in a circular motion like a "bow tie effect" for the lookout of cars in all directions when driving. THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! However, I did not believe you when you said that you had never run a red light in your entire life.

An hour ago, I ran a red light coming home. I was trying to beat the yellow light (it was yellow for one second) and then it turn red for another half a second (or maybe a full second) and I went right through it. Normally, I feel guilty afterwards but today I wasn't. Something within me told me to run it because if I didn't, the driver behind me would have rear-ended me even though he was not taigating me that much. There simply was not enough time for that driver to stop nice ane evenly behind me if I had chose to stop. Besides, who can brake that hard that you end up nice and evenly behind the crosswalk without suffering a fatal whiplash first. So, I ran the first traffic light but stopped in time for the second light. When the first traffic light was turning yellow, so did the second light, BOTH at the same time. People always end up running the first but make it in time for the second. Then there are also times where there are drivers who end up running both lights because of the close proximity of the damn lights. I tend to run the first but stop nice and evenly for the second. I just hate traffic lights that are so close in proximity and that change in color simultaneously. Also, I hate the fact that New York is cutting back the seconds for the yellow light to turn red. It used to take 4-5 seconds before the red came on. Now, you can expect it to appear after 2-3 seconds. Who knows, I probably saved the driver's life by running that red light today.

I MUST admit I used to RUN a lot of red lights when I was a teen. Those days are long over, thank GOD! One important lesson I learned from this site (it was exactly two years ago today) was the idea of the "STALE" green light. I like to call it the "SNEAKY" green. You just don't know how long that light had been green and the given minute it will turn red. Boy, have I seen it sneak up on people in an instant and people ended up running it, not of pure intention, of course. We are all programmed to keep going when we see the green light. That is 98% true. For me, however, there is that 2% where you have to slow down and prepare to stop. Sometimes I am WRONG in the calculations and cars would honk at me for slowing down when the light is still obviously green. Others time I'm CORRECT. Just the other day, a driver honked at me to pick up the pace but the light turned red and we BOTH stopped in time. I stucked my head out and pointed to the traffic light and shouted "TOLD YOU SO!" He grinned right back at me with that annoying smirk. Always prepare for that "sneaky" green light. P.S. I have another confession to make. I have been driving for years and I still can't reverse. That is why when I am looking for a parking space, I make sure to the fullest that I park my vehicle facing outward for quick exit. I NEVER NEVER NEVER park in a space where I will be facing another vehicle because that would mean that I would need to reverse and back out. I don't why but I get afraid. When I see parking spaces like that, I just keep onm going. I just hate the possibility of scraping the side of the vehicle next to me.

I see people park their cars at HOME DEPOT everyday to buy a few items and then get back into their cars and drive across the street and shop at the local supermarket there. So If I am shopping at SEARS, I would just park my car there. If I am also planning to shop at the supermarket across the street, I would just walk across the street. I love to use other stores' parking lots and do my shopping elsewhere and it saves all the trouble of finding parking space. Today, I drove all my colleagues to the diner for lunch. Instead of using their parking lot, which is always crowded, I used WALMART's which was across the street. We were all running across the busy street screaming and laughing. It was fun and nostalgic!

All vehicles should be installed with this important feature. With a touch of a button, the back window of your vehicle would light up with these words proudly on full display, DO NOT TAILGATE.

 Ever see something so stupid you are dumbfounded as you watch it?  Well saw one this morning.  A woman to important and busy to wait for the truck turning in front of her decided to turn the opposite direction and make a u-turn.  The dumbfounding part is how she made the u-turn.  When she found herself waiting at a light and unable to make the u-turn through the line of cars in the left turn lane to her left, she dove through the line of cars to her right into a closed on-ramp construction zone.  She cut through the construction zone to pass the cars waiting for the light and made her u-turn.  She made her u-turn through the intersection, against the light, and cutting off cars in the intersection coming off the freeway.

This was the I-96 - Okemos Road interchange.  The driver was trice entitled, driving an expensive car, a white BMW; taking an important call on her cell phone; and clearly priviledged by affirmative action.

There was a car accident ahead of us today. Traffic was impossible and backed up to you know where. Once in a while you get a little movement here and there. Then there were also moments where you just sat there thumbing around or looking over to the other driver on the other lane. We finally did inch up a bit and stopped right underneath the swinging gigantic traffic light at the intersection (go figure). Suddenly, I had a strange feeling it was going to turn red. Speaking of the devil, I looked up and it was RED just like that...poof! WE ALL RAN A RED LIGHT TODAY! To top things off, the camera went off and all you saw was a bright flash. Now, I don't know of which vehicle it took a picture. If it was mine, I would definitely dispute it to the bone.

If you use the HOV lane during the hours of 6am-10am or 2pm-7pm Monday -Friday, you MUST have 2 or more people in your vehicle. Here is the cool part...those are the only times that they are actually HOV lanes! Outside of those hours and on weekends, anyone can use them! http://www.jayfisherinsurance.com/Blog/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/13/I-15-Express-Lane-vs-HOV-Lanes.aspx

Please stop, it is very rude to write so many blogs and file so many wires that say the same thing so that everything that was on the page before is gone... We all have opinions that we would like to discuss but once the plate or blog is pushed off by your never-ending negative entries, all we feel is anger at you for being so inconsiderate by making our posts worthless.... Anyone else who feels this way please comment, perhaps if there are enough constructive, non-threatening comments the moderators of this site will look into it for us... AO
