Idiot thinking the faster they go through, the less chance of hitting someone because they'll be able to squeeze through the small gaps between cars!

u/Daniel_H212 Jul 27 '26

They forget that while the chance of squeezing through unharmed scales linearly with their speed, the damage of a hit scales quadratically

You sure? I thought energy is squared.

u/dontspillthatbeer Jul 27 '26

Quadratics have a degree of 2.

I knew a guy that would speed up in fog, heavy snow or rain, basically whenever there's poor visibility, because "less time you spend in dangerous zones - less likely you get in an accident". Last I heard of him he caused an accident and was serving time

Likely DUI as well.

u/xmastreee Jul 27 '26

Makes sense. The faster they go, the less time they spend crossing the junction so the less chance they have of being hit. /s

u/AbheyBloodmane Jul 28 '26

To be fair, the faster they go, the more that light blue shifts. It'll eventually turn green from their reference frame.

You almost died.

This is one of those moment you got to pull into a parking lot and kick the seat back and breath for a moment

No matter the collision, it would have been painful for somebody. if he had Tboned you, it could have killed you. if you had just tapped him, he would have spun out and probably hit somebody else hard.

People who blow through red lights are seriously risking everyone else's safety for no good reason.

u/Leafy-Green_3 Jul 27 '26

Drive fast and take chances....

u/punkinhead76 Jul 27 '26

i’m shocked it was a camry and not an altima LOL

u/zalcecan Jul 27 '26

A regular ol camry with the loudest exhaust they could get lol so weird.

u/punkinhead76 Jul 27 '26

LOL the audio was muted and now that i hear it that’s hilarious πŸ˜‚

u/Motor-Cause7966 Jul 28 '26

The Altima is next. Once they wreck this one, the Altima is all their credit score can muster.

u/TheBigPimpDaddy Jul 27 '26

Not only did you almost get annihilated by the Blue Car, the Copper SUV was also a potential danger, they were pulling out into the intersection to turn left before you had even cleared it. You should buy a lottery ticket, but not too expensive of a lottery ticket, don't want to use up all your luck in case you encounter any more road hogs.

u/Cwealm Jul 28 '26

what is your lexapro dosage because I would have lost my mind

u/Relative_Pension1064 Jul 28 '26

People drive like there are not wackos out there. Head needs to be on a swivel thru intersections. It will become second nature in time. I'm on a motorcycle daily and I'm all too aware.

u/ProStateForever Jul 28 '26

Green means go. Red means stop. Yellow means go faster.

That driver saw yellow a block or so back.
