A few lights later I'm beside the guy and there's a car seat in the back seat with a little one inside, I saw the arms moving in the air. All I could do was shake my head in disgust.

There are some really, really stupid people out there.

That makes me so mad that's not even right

This happens all the time in CR. When you are sitting at a red light and it goes green, you don't look to see if a car will run the red, you look to see how many run the red. Yes there are a lot of stupid drivers. The sad part is you can't fix stupid.

For sure, it's all bad. Im worried about just cruisin through a green light that's been green, guess all I can do is slow down a bit to try an make sure it's clear. Scary stuff.

People like that should be put in a special place that consists of no one else, that way they can never hurt anyone but themselves with their own stupidity.

And they should be denied the right to procreate.

You guys ever watch the you tube video's of the russian drivers.

birdman71 · 10-28-2015, 05:55 PM

Video is unavailable for myself anyway. But yeah there are some countries where driving like that is the normal.

Bout a year ago, I was waiting at an intersection when the light turned green and I dont remember why but I hesitated. And as soon as I put in first and I was about to start moving forward, a teenage girl flys through the light on her cellphone. If I was in a hurry that day, I surely would have been t-boned. Taught me be to not try to time green lights anymore. I just wait and go at ease.

For sure, I am guilty of being in a hurry too and taking off from lights sometimes but I'm just gonna try and be super careful now lol seriously

similar thing happened to me today. was making a left at a 4 way stop and luckily, in the corner of my eye, i noticed this old camry flying down the road and i slammed on my brakes and held onto my horn hoping he'd hear me and stop. he runs the stop sign going at least 45 mph and totally oblivious to the fact that i was in the middle of the intersection holding the horn.

Do you have a dash cam installed in your vehicle? You should have captured it.

Swindler · 10-28-2015, 08:26 PM

Nah I don't have a dash cam unfortunately

It's the, "I got to check my phone" folks that causes the vast majority of issues on the road.

People surfing/texting/playing with their online devices (cell phones) causes more accidents that those who drink and drive. I condone neither, but those who are on their online devices are the worst.
