I was in the right-left turn lane, and to my left was a woman in a silver Mercedes C320. The light turned green and I put the car in gear and was about to go when I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye. I saw it was a car so I stopped. The woman in the Mercedes didn't see it, so the guy ran right through the red light and slammed her car really hard. I was like "OH $HIT!" so I pulled over and put my hazards on and got out to see if they were ok... Some other people stopped too. Thankfully, the woman in the Mercedes was fine. The guy who ran the red light and caused this whole mess was yelling at her for hitting him , but some big huge guy that was driving behind her (he was driving a Ram) quieted the a-hole down. If I had been a matter of 4 or 5 feet farther out, it would have been me, not her... Is it going to be his fault for running the red, or her fault for hitting him? Anyway... So, I get back on the interstate...
I take that turn almost every day, I am always amazed how many accidents and near accidents I see there. Even more amazing is how many times I get flipped off by someone running the red when I have the green. Makes me appreciate my rural NH neighborhood.
