    Seen it happen three times, all in a short period of time.

    First time a car slowed down at an intersection as the light changed from yellow to red. The car behind it crossed the double yellow line into the oncoming lane and gunned it to pass and blow through the red light!

    Second time the car at the front of the intersection wouldn’t go when the light turned green. Just sat there for 10 seconds until a car in the intersecting lane ran the red light. It was just going regular speed too, wasn’t gunning it to beat the light or anything. It was like the first car knew this was going to happen.

    Third time the car was also going at normal speed. Light turned red, driver wasn’t anywhere close to the intersection but didn’t even attempt to slow down. Just casually crossed the intersection like it was still green.

    No, not a requirement. However, it’s a sign of the “me first” mentality and the “I’m special, you’re not” mentality that’s invaded people’s brains. Name a traffic violation and you’ll see it violated daily men and women of ALL ages driving every vehicle under the sun. It’s common for me, and other drivers to wait at a green light because “special” pedestrians felt entitled to ignore the do not walk signal. I see bike riders violate traffic laws that are on the books covering bike riders. Will anything change? NOPE. Why? Because the people ignoring the law are certain they’re entitled to do so and ALL the close calls/accidents are caused by “those other bad people” certainly not the finger pointers.
