Unhappy Near death incident

I have returned after a disappearance to warn drivers to look both ways even if the traffic light is green. It may seem like common sense, but I was in a near death situation. My mom was driving, with me, and my brother in the car. We were crossing a main road when an ugly tuner car sped at full speed and ran a red light . I however, spotted the car and told my mom to stop. If I was messing with the radio or looking the other way, my mom would have driven forward, and I would not have been today. We caught up and what a f****** surprise, the driver was a teen.

Anyway, Happy Easter everyone, and be safe.

I see that all to often at certain intersections... causes lots of bad accidents. Thank god you saw it coming and got your mom to stop as that could have been a really bad situation.

You should have written down the licence plate # and called the cops.

indeed look even if you have the green... even if it has been green for a while... it doesn't cost anything.

Wasn't looking both ways even at a green light, covered during drivers ed and tests? As a motorcycle rider, it's become a habit to look both ways at a green, even when not on my bike.

Different scenario but an off duty cop was recently killed in NYC while riding his bike on a stretch of road with no lights or stop signs. Some idiot pulled out from a stop sign and the cop t-boned him.

Glad to hear you were alert.
