Holy *beep*............

Post by jcprov21 »

I can't believe what i just did today...... I am in major shock, i was at a left turn stop light and for some reason i thought it was green and i hit it, but then i got in the middle of the intersection a noticed cars everywhere, %^# #&&$ @#($ on both sides of me, now what i cant understand is that what made me think i saw green? Why whould i do this? what could make me do such a thing? I never ran a red before, and i honestly thought it was green........ i just cant uderstand why i did this. And my car is so unique, i am in trouble if anyone in that intersection remembers me. And i hope to god there was no camera at that light, because otherwise my %#$ IS dead... But anyway i think most people noticed my error and made sure to get out of my way....... so i made it thought safely

You are lucky no accident happened. Everyone miss judges once in awhile; usually just go a bit and look up and slam on the brake though. I'm sure nothing will happen to you for it, no can come and point fingers saying you ran a red unless they videotaped you which I 100% doubt. You can tell if a light has a camera inside it flashes every few secs very obvious. I have ran red by missing timing on a few occasions such as the light was yellow so I went faster. It's not a big deal since there was no accident just have to watch more carefully.

Maybe you're going colorblind. :lol: No worries, just think and confirm things in your head before you do them. You'll be back to yourself in no time.

It happens. I love when drivers in the straight lane jump forward when the left turn lane turns green. :wink:
