i'll take offense to you claiming i am an incompetentant driver. look up my
record. there is one speeding ticket about 6 years ago if it is even still on
there. i have had one accident claim when i was rear ended by the car on 94
who couldn't tell that we hit stop and go traffic.
to reiterate, i have witnessed people go through red lights. i have never
witnessed anyone hit any other car or person running a red light. i have never
witnessed any car needing to stop at a green to avoid a car going through a red
light. i have witnessed someone blow through a stop sign and hit a car in
front of me. i have also avoided someone going through a stop sign and nearly
clipping me.
i don't doubt this happens. never have. people have the pain to prove it
does. i just don't believe it happens because of some drivers blatent
disregard for the law and i don't think at all it happens with the frequency
one would believe it does, reading this thread.

webber-camden, who drives a white dodge dakota so if you see one you better
steer clear because chris says i am a stupid driver who obviously doesn't pay
attention and chris would know because we ride together all the time, wait a
minute, we don't, i don't even know who he is past someone who sits in and
takes notes at the park board meetings. That chris must be a smart guy knowing
my driving habits having never met me.
