When turning left at an intersection, how do you handle the green
arrow -- turning yellow and then red? When you catch it at the very
end, do you force yourself into the intersection as the arrow turns
red?
If you answered 'yes' above, that you do in fact tend to run the
light (because you don't want to wait through a whole other cycle),
ask yourself how you feel when the shoe's on the other foot -- when
you're on the other side of the street (going straight) waiting for
a green light. You're waiting on the left turners from the opposite
side (moving to your right), and then here comes the inevitable
straggler, running the damn red arrow -- impeding YOU now.
Well, what's your reaction? Do you have empathy for that driver, knowing
that you yourself have been in that situation, in fact many times in
your life? Never mind, I already know your answer. You get pissed at the
other driver. You know you do. And that's because you are a
self-righteous, self-centered, egocentric, hypocritical bastard. And I,
quite frankly, don't want anything to do you with.
