Accident Prone

People see yellow lights and they speed up to make it, as to not waste 5 minutes of their lives. That's not a good idea.

After doing some shopping at the mall we made our way up a major street towards Jack in the Box (free fries today!). I was waiting at a red left-turn light. The light to go straight was still green, but quickly turned to yellow, and obviously then to red. One car, though, decided to run the light, just as a car decided to make a left hand turn since the light was just about red and why would ANYONE be going STRAIGHT? Well, luckily, the guy going straight was able to swerve around the car turning (who had stopped).

I know it's sort of complicated to read it, but it was a VERY close one. Scary. I was far away enough, and at an angle from them that it wouldn't haven't affected me, but nonetheless.

It reminds me of the saying my mom always has told me:

Better to loose a minute in your life, than your life in a minute.
