Years ago I nearly got hit by a guy running a red light. I was at a 3 way intersection. The light was red. I was waiting to make a left turn. My sight of the left was obstructed by a huge bush. The light turned green. I didn’t immediately go forward. Something inside me said “wait”. So I waited a second or so. Then I began to inch forward into the intersection when a sports car ran the red light and went past me, missing me only by inches. Had I went forward only a split second earlier, he would have t-boned me.
Same here Low, I was entering a highway around midnight at a light at a 4 way intersection. My light turned green but something whispered in my ear to wait. I waited maybe a second albeit it seemed longer. Guy went through on the hard red at about 80MPH without headlights on. I would have been T boned into a pretzel.
I had an incident just like that about a month ago. It scares the hell out of you. I hate intersections.
