The year was 1989, I was stopped at the light at the corner of North Parkway and East Parkway in the curb lane of a divided street. I was in my new 1989 Nissan Maxima.
There was a large vehicle to my left so I couldn't see anything in that direction. The light turns green. I noticed that the large vehicle didn't move, so I didn't move. (Thank goodness!).
An older car flies through the intersection running the red light. I would have certainly been T-boned on my driver's side and maybe not be alive. Cars of the era didn't have airbags then, maybe front but certainly not side. I don't think I had a front airbag in that car.
Anyway, I always look both ways and it has certainly been a good idea doing so.
Safe travels,
MM.
