Default It hurt me to watch it.

Im driving across town to school today sitting at a red light with a Jaguar infront of me. I noticed the guy was talking on his cell, and generally not paying attention to driving, becuase he was driving very fast for the area ( near a daycare, elementary school, etc. ) and swerving on the road. Apparently he was in some big rush or somthing to a buisness meeting or somthing. Anways, the left turn signal came on meaning that ONLY the people in the left turn lane on our side of the road and the opposite side of the road could go. I had been looking at a Mach 1 that was making a left turn on the other side of the road for a while.... but then the guy infront of me decided to go. Our light was red and only people making left turns could. He obviously wasnt paying attention to the light, and saw the person next to him go and assumed he could. Well, the Jaguar T-boned the Mach 1 and they pulled over to the side a side parking lot to wait for the cops.

The cops came and I decided to pull over as a witness to see what happended and make sure everyone was ok, as not a lot of cars were around at the time and no one else decided to stop. Well, long story short, the guy in the Jaguar tried to say that the guy in that Mach 1 pulled out infront of HIM. I talked to the cop and told him that was defintely not the case and they got everything straightned out. IDK, just kinda pissed me off. Im fairly sure the guy would have believed the guy in the Jag too, because it was a really expensive looking car and the guy was dressed up in a buisness suit and all. Some ppl just **** me off. Ok thats the end of my rant lol.

It's a good thing you stopped as a witness. Most people can't be bothered to do that, everyone's so busy and most people just don't care. Nice to know there's still some moral fiber left in our ever Deteriorating society.

I agree with you, stupid driving, especially those on a cell phone, hacks me off. Thanks for doing a good deed as a witness. Just maybe that Jag driver will learn a lesson.

Good for you guitarguy, there's always a need for someone impartial to get the truth. Maybe that guy in the Mach 1 is a MF member!

I did that very same thing when I was in high school, many, many years ago. Lucky for me the people making a left stopped. I realized right away what I had done and felt like such an idiot.

It only takes a split second of not paying attention to cause an accident. I wish I could convince my wife of that since she is usually looking everywhere but straight ahead, or behind.
