Viper had a bad day...I had justed picked my wife up for lunch. We were driving down the road. When I got to the stop line at the intersection (the white painted line) I looked up and saw the light was changing to yellow. I am just about to cross into the intersection. Then I see it. A red Grand Marquis pulls in front of me. WHAMMO...my airbags go off, my wife screams, I say to myself "this is gonna hurt", it did. Fortunately I walked away, my wife was transported via ambulance to the ER ( only a messed up foot, she's ok) by coincidently her cousin who is a EMT... The lady that pulled in front of me was ok. Glad for that, it could of been worse. The small gray car was very minor.
Heres what happened. The road I was on is a two lane road with a left turn lane. The opposite traffic has the same. Well there was a big ol moving truck in the turn lane on my side. I could not see the lady in her turn lane as I approached, she didn't see me either. When the light turned yellow she thought there was no other traffic coming and boy was she wrong. I T-Boned her at about 45 mph. I will definately get another Hyundai Sante Fe for my wife...That thing is a tank... Bottom line is she was at fault, got cited, but now I am out a vehicle.
Yellow does not mean accelerate to get through the intersection, it means Caution stupid the light is about to change to red. Look it up in a law book, its actually illegal in Florida to enter an intersection on a yellow light, but never gets enforced. Anyway that was my day. There are some pics at the bottom. Drive safe everyone...
