Watch those cagers...

[timgray]

Wife and I were heading home last night. Stopped at a familiar light where a side road crosses the highway, next to the train tracks. My light turned green. Car in front went, I started to follow and slammed on the brakes hard as I saw bouncing headlights to my right. A driver blew the red light hard. doing about 50 mph she barely missed the rear bumper of the car in front of me and I would have been broadsided by an idiot on her phone who thinks laying on the horn is more important than brakes. Her look on her face was as clear as day as my headlight could not have been more than 3 feet from her.

 

Be very aware out there. The light was a solid green for at least 10 seconds before I got into the intersection, if it had been raining or day I would have never saw the bouncing headlights that let me know that someone flew over the train tracks and was driving recklessly. Honestly, at her speed, if I waited for the car next to me to enter the intersection to go along, I would have had the other car on top of me.

 

Dont assume that cager will stop.
