I have been enjoying the winter we have been having so far... it's just a matter of time before we get some snow :)

woke up this morning to see this outside my living room window...

Decided that it would be better to stay home rather than deal with drivers who really don't know how to drive in this weather....so I stayed home ;)

Smart plan.

I'm almost jealous, I wanted at least one good snow this winter. It's supposed to be 60F this weekend.

Saved it. And me. This F series BMW totally sped through/ran a red light though an empty middle lane with everyone else stopped. My left turn arrow was green so I started to move out. If I didn't see him he would have t-boned me right into my drivers side going around 50 mph.

Got to drive an '15 S4 yesterday. Holy fuck is it fast!!!!

What an ass!!! Glad to see you and Ness are okay though! I'm sure you were like WTF?!?! Hopefully this asshat will get caught and pulled over before he/she seriously hurts someone later on...... :facepalm

Fuck that. I've seen a handful of close calls in Philly, thankfully nothing like that here. Good job staying alert for that kind of thing.

Good save! Were you able to give him an earful of horn to let him know he's an asshat, or did you even have time?

I've started just leaning on my horn when people run through reds. I mean, with the delay between when on side turns red, and another turns green, it's so blatantly obvious they're just completely blowing off the red light. It's unbelievable. I think I'm the only one who does it, but why should we all just suck it up and let these people just do what they want? Oh, you were in a hurry, so you don't have to stop like everybody else? WTH?

agreed. if i see someone texting while driving, or generally doing something unsafe, i lay on my horn - and keep laying on it - until i feel like they've understood. :)
