This is my habit too. Light turns green(for me) look both directions..pause a second..look again..all clear..proceed. Of course it won't stop the 100% of the accidents, but I would venture to guess that most lights that get run, get run within the first second or two of them turning red.Purplehood wrote:
Based only on what I have seen, and as opposed to what you have seen, I would dispute your assertion. I have seen entirely too many drivers simply blow through red lights in my lifetime. It has become a general habit of mine when I am the first car sitting at a light to hesitate before I go on a green light. I guarantee that it has saved my life more than once.
