so what happened...?? was anyone hurt? what happened to the bus? what kind of car was it...did he hit the bike or did the bike hit him...not sure which would be worse...???
The idiot stopped half way in the road when he finally looked back over his left shoulder, just a fraction of a second , he would have killed the guy.

 He would have been screwed if the court would have gotten him, because everyone watched as he caused people to crap there pants when he went left of center to get ahead of the traffic.

The stop sign runner hit the truck, the truck was going 50+  (legal) and it was hauling a horse trailer with two horse, I'm pretty sure at least on of them is ok, they were walking it around.

 Then the  "stop sign runner veered off, and plowed through a tree ( not good at all ) .

 The bus was in front of me, turning left, it;s a real tight turn, you wouldn't normally go that way, the cars that were headed towards the accident ( btw, I never did understand why they call it an accident, it is not, you dont run a stop sign " on accident, you weren't paying attention )  anyway, they cars were doing 45 + , and blew there horn at the bus like she was wrong, it is only 35 mph going that way, it's a blind curve.

 Then, the bike came around, and the jackass almost caused another wreck.

 Poeple, please, just look around, your not going to get there ANY sooner ! There have been many studies done, and you just dont get there any faster !!!!!  So please, just enjoy your ride, and your life, because it is very short comparatively speaking.

yep...my momma used to say..."better late than never"...usually if everything seems to be getting in my way...i just back my speed down and kick it...take a deep breath...no place i'm going is worth my life...so i just get in the slow lane and relax...enjoy the ride...

and i still say when the light turns green...count 3 slow seconds before u put ur foot to the gas...who cares if the guy behind u blows his horn...seriously...several times someone has run the red light going the other way and if i had just gone the second that the light turned green that would have been it for me...

This is why the light should remain red for both directions at least 2 seconds.Most don't but check it out some do.
If all lights used 3 seconds all red it would be fine with me.

tdawnaz ;I know were on the same page.You wanted a 3 second wait at the green light which is the best way when the light turns green as soon or with little delay as the other direction light turns red.
What I would like is the light for one direction is red.The other direction light turns red.The first light remains red for 3 seconds before it turns green.
This way the wait is built in so no one gets mad & honks.
Of course it doesn't do much for the red light runners but has been proved to save lives.
btw the longest I've been at are about 2 seconds that are doing this.I think 3 seconds might be better.
With that an extra wait of 3 seconds probably wouldn't be necessary but there are probably bad drivers out there that constantly run red lights that would try to time the delay too.So the extra 3 seconds on green even then might be a good idea.

i think scottsdale heree actually does that with the built in 3 (or 2) second wait...but i still wait my 3...scottsdale drivers...alot of scottsdale folks especially the longtime residents...have money...and think they r entitled...and it has one of the worst stats...they have a slew of redlight running cameras...so it's getting better...but that city was nick named "scootsdale"
