Just as I hit the gas I noticed movement to my left and hit the binders. A fully loaded 18 wheeler blew the light and slid through the intersection 3 ft off my front bumper. Had I gone on green he would have T-Boned me for sure.
Glad you looked both ways before pulling thru a green light. My best friend at work's dad and my next door neighbor's wife were both killed exactly as you describe by an 18 wheeler blowing thru a green light.
We have talked a lot on this forum about TC/weight related safety issues, but what will kill you on the road are drunks and big trucks.
