Once that point is crossed, I'm coming through the intersection no matter what color the light is.

I pray in reality you're really smart enough not to kill someone; because that statement represents a pretty irresponsible attitude for a big rig driver.

Read the whole post again.

He is talking about the simple physics of driving a big rig.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was busy trying NOT to kill someone in Cincinnati's rush to leave the city.

Too keep it RV related...those physic apply to just about any heavy vehicle. In my opinion...those lights are sequenced for passenger vehicle traffic. Hence all the skid marks others have mentioned seeing.

Skid marks normally occur when the trailer is EMPTY...if the light truck locked them up, what chance does a fully loaded semi..or RV
..have? ????

If you're saying you are not smart enough not to kill someone, then I guess my prayers for you are in vain. Generally big rig drivers are a pretty smart, responsible, and safe lot. Your statements depict something less. Do you really fear you'll lose the load by stopping for a red light?
