Nothing saying you have to go at red lights?

Stopped at red light at inter section. Across the street is a white car that is also stopped at red light. Light turns green. The white car across the street starts to go. I still have some habits learned on the job over many years. I quickly glance left and right before I start. I see a nut job on my left that is going way to fast to stop in my opinion. That car T-bones the white car big time in middle of intersection. White car slides sideways into me, but very lightly. If I would of started the split-second the light turned color, it would have been me that was t-boned. Don’t know how bad passenger in white car is, but hauled away in meat wagon.

Drove truck many years. Now retired. If I remember right most crashes at intersections happen within the first 3 seconds of light color change. Good thing I’m still in the habit of taking a quick glance before entering intersections.


And amazing how plastic parts fly's into the air on newer cars.
