    I would add in addition to waiting a second after the light turns green, look both ways while you’re waiting. Takes almost no time, but saves lives.

      Please repeat that to the guy who ignored a stop sign and hit me in a zebra crossing last week.

      Thankfully for me, I was paying attention. I managed to hop on the hood and roll through the impact.

      A few years ago a dump truck slid through an intersection in front of me and the light was green my way. It was going too fast for the road conditions. If I hadn’t looked, it would have t-boned me on the driver’s side.

        I have been tboned by a person who didnt stop at a red light. If I had waited 2 seconds they would have missed me completely.

        I got sent to the hospital, they tried to say I ran the light. Fortunately helpful bystanders corrected her and she was found at fault.
