Just Unbelievable

I visited some friends on Sunday and left their house late at night. On my way back home, I approached a traffc light with a green light for my direction. Then I saw someone turn left on the intersection right in front of me.

Traffic lights here are not like in Europe or the US. If you want to turn left, you need the left turn light. This means someone arrived at the light, saw that no one is there, and ran the red light.

It took me several seconds to understand what just happened. Fortunately, I was very far away from the light, so it didn't affect me. The only problem was that my light turned red (the intersection has sensors).

Please, promise me: don't be idiots. Red means stop 24 hours a day, every day. Even if the intersection is empty and no car is approaching for miles away, red means stop. Don't surprise anyone.

Red Light Runners

As I wrote three weeks ago, I visited Germany in July and noticed many red light runners. Until now I haven't noticed many of them where I live, since we have a very long notice before the red light. However, when I started looking carefully, I saw many red light runners.

All these light runners make me afraid. I know I should always look to both sides of the intersection before crossing, even on green, but some drivers don't even mind other cars. They just go in, letting others to stop for them.

Scary, really scary.

Have a great weekend,
