I have OCD about looking both ways at a green light. Saved me from a crash on several occasions.
maybe those getting killed need to be more observant? aware of what other cars are doing?
just because light turns green does not mean you/the driver should go. it means go if intersection appears clear/safe.
What if your light turns green but you hear siren? or see emergency vehicle coming? you wait don’t you?
I suggest people not blame other drivers when their own responsibility is to be sure it’s clear to proceed. Otherwise you are just acting like that image people post of continuous people all walking off the edge into pit.
I have been driving for 50 years and was NEVER EVER nailed by a red light camera. And I have driven in large cities all over with camera’s. I am just a cautious and defensive driver.
Guess what ... after 50 years and a few million miles of driving, I have ZERO accidents! I made State Farm richer!
Frankly, your personal experience is not the universal experience.
