What has happened to the driving public? They have all gone mad. Or have gotten so insufferably arrogant. For instance, so many people in large trucks think that they are safe turning after the light is red. It
is like they are saying, "Try it" to the rest of us who drive Corollas. It is true that a car in the intersection when the light turns yellow has the use of the intersecton until they are through, but you can't enter the intersection when the light is red and expect to get through safely every time.
And don't get me started about red lights. I see at least one person running a red light every time I drive. These are the people who speed up when the yellow light is getting old. You are supposed to be cautious when the Don't walk sign stops flashing and be prepared to stop.
I'm prepared to support red light cameras and the resulting fines. Call it a tax on stupidity.
Society works in most respects because people support reasonable rules. If driving becomes too haphazard, there will be more carnage on the road from every day driving and not just high speed chases and road rage.
