Break the lights and ill break yours

Ross_Mahon · 11-12-2009 12:37AM #1

I've nearly been killed three times this week due to people breaking red lights, The first was by what i thought was an undercover Garda car? But it lacked the six antennas on the roof, I was halfway across the road and i had to jump back to avoid being ran over, No signs of him stopping!

The second time i nearly had my toes flatten by a car full of Romanian Gypsies, They thought it was funny, I didn't! And the third time it happened on the way to work today, An SUV that Presumed he was king of the road decided to wheel spin and escape the traffic which nearly killed me, I had enough...

So i managed to smash his tail light off as he sped off! The car beside his beeped and stuck his head out the window "Fair play man" This whole week has been like Final Destination, It great to be alive! For now...

Has anyone had any near death experiences with motorists?

Wait until traffic stopped - your life is more important than the rules of the road - well mine is - not so sure about yours....

Waiting until the traffic stops sounds like a tremendous idea.

Well done, I kicked the wing mirror off a car once while cycling. Some guy mounted a footpath to go around a car turning right, didnt check his mirror, nearly hit me and nearly ran over a girl coming out of a garden. When he started mouthing off, I told him it didnt matter because he didnt need them apparently.

And no, im not usually like that, quite the opposite, but this guy was driving like a ****ing maniac.

I did, I thought the first car was going to slow down at the lights but it continued through at full speed, The second car decided to break the lights just as i was passing their car which was stopped beside the others, And the third one was the same.

Thinking the car was going to slow down doesnt sound like stopped.

Breaking the lights doesn't sound like stopped

The same doesnt sound like stopped.

So the SUV was stopped, took off when the lights were green
and you were still crossing the road.
sounds like you were the one breaking the lights !

i also seriously doubt as well you broke his lights and he just drove off without saying anything or sticking it in reverse and running your ass over.

But thats serious criminal damage guys, you dont have the right to enforce your own brand of justice.

A lot of thicks tend to go through red lights because two or three of them are following a car (rather than actually watching the light) that keeps going through a junction when it's amber.

If you mean cyclists breaking the lights, it's annoying but increases the chance of being able to run one over and get away with it, so let's not jump to conclusions.

wudangclan · 11-12-2009 12:51AM

Farcical ,if you ask me.

A green light doesn't mean pedal to the metal

I really wish it did though

Many times. The girls are afraid of lights and roundabouts, the boys abuse the lights and roundabouts. The above never cease to surprise me. I'm so anal about indication, lanes, roundabouts etc. I've had assholes beep me for being in the right, and that pisses me off no-end. I studied the rules of the road, and bent the ears off my driving instructor, becuase if I had any doubts or questions I asked, I fucking paid him for it.

Light-breaking fucks me up. What the hell can be worth the chance of injuring / killing someone?. There is no comparison, just stu-fucking-pity

Break the lights and ill break yours
