Unfortunately I don't have a picture to accompany this, but picture this in your mind:

I'm going south on US 27 in Highland Heights, a four-lane road with a speed limit of either 35 or 40. I'm in the left lane about to go into the center to make a left turn onto a side street. The light ahead is red with a red arrow so I come up to it in a Fas at about 15 MPH, with my signal on for the last quarter mile or so. A white Civic gets on my butt and begins tailgating and hitting his flashers. He could have gone around at any time. I give him the driver's salute but don't brake check since it would ruin my glide...

So I finally slide over into the turn lane, light still red, and the Civic guns it. On the right coming from the side street (whose signal is green) comes a Buick. The Civic just blasts through the intersection, cutting off the Buick. If the guy in the Buick hadn't gotten on the brakes real fast (I heard the chirp-chirp of ABS) then he would have T-boned that Civic's ass. Came within six inches or so and the Civic didn't even blink, just kept on going.

Where's a cop when you need one?

probably a hypermiler. you now how we love to roll through red lights and stop signs. :mad::mad:

That's insane! That idiot is going to get into a crash before long. The cops didn't catch him this day, but I'm sure he's got several tickets on his record and will get more in the future. His reward: more money spent on fuel, higher insurance rates, and future hospitalization costs. :D

For all we know this guy could be on another forum talking about his idiot red-light run b/c of a jerk going 15 mph.

And he was probably laughing about it and bragging to his friends about how good a driver he is.

Funny you should say that.

I was over at http://www.platewire.com/ after someone mentioned it here in one of their posts. Platewire.com is somewhere where people can post the plate number for someone they perceive as a bad/aggressive driver. It was not too hard to find examples of complainers who sounded like they were the aggressive driver and the person they were complaining about was driving just fine, or was trying to prevent the complainer from getting away with the aggressive driving.

We recently had a similiar driver sentenced to 4 years in prison. He killed four people.

The light was red the whole time. :(

He just doesn't understand. First one to the red light loses.

It sounds like he was so consumed and focused on getting around you that he wasn't even paying attention to the traffic light ahead. I guess you can only hope he wet his pants and learned a lesson.

Oh, I believe he's an idiot. Just probably idiot enough to brag about his stupidity.

Well if a cop does not nail him another innocent driver will unfortunately. What an idiot!!!

oh my now if this was oh 5 years ago!! it would be me, to the t i did do that to someone before. wow what memories. I went through the red light and if the person did not stop on the green side, i would have been t-boned and no i was not braggin at the time i was scared sh!tless at that time. Wow well thanks for the story lamebums I hope the person was as scared as i was when it happened to me. if so he will slow down for at least a week! (that is what i did!)
