Black people are crazy drivers with one hand on the center of the steering wheel and the other throwing signs to the beat of rap music. Asian drivers usually have two hands on the steering wheel at 10-2 position and the handbrakes on to prevent speeding. 
And white people...are just crazy.
I'm just kidding for fun. Alright?!!

Almost as irritating as red light runners are those that pull out into an intersection that has a person stopped in front of them just on the other side of the intersection. These people invariably get stuck in the middle of the intersection as the light turns red, and have to just sit there when my light (perpendicular to them) turns green. Happens a lot here in L.A. I have missed full green light cycles waiting for some moron to move forward so I can go through... 
If there isn't room, chill on THIS side of the intersection. Not going anywhere anyway...

i'm on the freeway coming back to work from my lunch break... i get off the freeway and theres a commercial truck right in front of me pulling a long trailer of some sort... the light for the traffic getting off the freeway turns yellow, and he has PLENTY of time to stop... in fact, the person in front of him had time to stop. but he keeps going... the light turns red and his trailer is still in the intersection and traffic in front of him is at a dead stop so he can't move... so now he's holding up the cross traffic with his ass in the intersection. ugh...
so i'm sitting there at the red light waiting... suddenly my light turns green and i start to go and a minivan goes sailing in front of me.
i'm sitting at another light on the next block.... red light running minivan is sitting next to me. our light turns green and we have to wait an additional 2-3 seconds as TWO more cars run the red light and sail through the intersection.
WTF... am i the only one who actually STOPS at red lights these days!? what really chaps my ass is two years ago i was behind a lifted truck in my lowered integra and couldn't see far enough over his canopy to see that a light had turned yellow.... and i got a $350 ticket for "failure to obey a traffic control device." AHHHHHHH! where's a cop when you need one... or four. bastards.
/rant.

Suffice to say i SLOW down on yellow and am at a complete STOP before Red hits.
It's all good brother, just keep on obeying the law and taking a SAFER stance on things. Someone's family will thank you later.
