"That's probably why I've never been hit at an intersection. "
As a motorcyclist from before I legally should have been driving on the road, early adaptation of road situational awareness and road surface have followed my driving 'techniques' all my life.
I will say it again as I have a ton of times as a result of the above. Intersections are of the highest probability factor of incident. Therefore, if one can not avoid them altogether, a total defensive state of operation while traversing is the order of my day.
Side note: Elaine does not go down the 4 mile stretch of the road from our area to the site of the accident ever anymore. She instead takes a slower route that actually has her take a right from where the red light got blown causing said accident onto said road there.
I am waiting for her to get a rear end tag as I am sure her ambivalence getting onto it is higher and slower in progress than anyone behind here there. At least this would be a low speed encounter VS the last one.
