The fact is that it is a serious problem as more people seem to be so self centered that they seem to think everyone else should get out of their way. They act like they have a right to run the lights.
You bring up an interesting point here Bill. People need to be held responsible for their ACTIONS, not their intentions. Like the lady someone else talked about, I'm sure she is VERY sorry, but that doesn't change the dead guy... I know its very existential of me, but people are judged by their actions, not intentions. Maybe a judge can take the intent into consideration, but it shouldn't relieve them of responsibility.
I think the everyone SHOULD get out of their way thing is important too. The focus of people during rushhour is NOT safety, it's "this is my spot in line" and I see people get boxed out onto a shoulder, cutoff, whatever. All because someone needs to be 30 feet ahead in a 2 mile traffic jam on the LIE...
