T-bone accidents are much more likely to kill or cripple than rear-end accidents. I was totally against red-light cameras, but now I’m not so sure. I see people running red lights all the time in Dallas, talking on their cell phones and completely self-absorbed in their own importance.

The worst red light running I have ever seen was in Dallas. I counted 9 cars turning left across my intended path after I had the green. North Dallas - c. 10 years ago.

Here in NM, 3 is the most I’ve counted in the same situation.

Motorists refuse to police themselves.

Right. You never want to go as soon as the light turns green. Wait to make sure everyone is stopped before you move or take a chance on getting blasted out of existence. Maybe after these results Lubbock and Amarillo will go ahead with the program. Same problems there as in Dallas. Too big a rush and not paying attention to their driving.
