[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 1214451, member: 13519"] When I was 17, I had a brand new little truck. I was in Albuquerque one day doing shop stuff for my dad. I wasn't supposed to go see my girlfriend, but I knew if I hurried up with the shop business and sped, that would buy me some time to visit her. I got off the freeway and caught the red light in the right lane. Thankfully there was a green suburban to my left. The light turned green and I was getting ready to haul ass when I saw the suburban stop hard. I braked, and watched as a van doing at least 60 swerved around us, nearly lost it and continued past us. He missed us by inches. If that Suburban hadn't of stopped, I would have been drilled by that stupid van. If that hadn't of killed me, my dad would have because the only reason I had for being in that area of town was to see my GF. Ever since then I have been very cautious about cross traffic. It has saved me more than once. IF I happen to be at work and that happens, there are no breaks, or warnings. I have written every one I have ever witnessed and I take my time. Makes trying to save 45 seconds by running the light totally not worth it. [/QUOTE]
