A few years a go I was going to lunch, stopped at a light that had just turned
red. Then saw a fellow worker speed up and run through the red light (wife and
2 very young kids in the car). When we both got back to work, I asked him if
he had been in a hurry at lunch - he had no idea of what I was talking about
until I pointed out that he sped up to go through a red light.
His explanation was that he always drove that way because people around here
(Kansas) never started moving until their light had been green for a couple of
seconds. I pointed out that it was idiots like him that made us wait to make
sure no one was going to ram us.
A couple of months later he hit some one as he was running another red light.
