Will U beat traffic lights?

[Lex250]

Hey peeps,

 

Bored at work so created this poll to see what most of us will do.

 

Scenario is early mrg hours 0100-0600, roads are deserted and the lights you coming up to are red. Would you stop first , check if it's clear and proceed?

 

 

[Pigkachu]

Dumb poll btw.

[Kungming]

Why don't u start a smarter poll then?

Actually it depends on whether there's a red light camera - that option is not in your poll.

BTW - "irregardless" = regardless (the ir is redundant and makes it into an "unword" - if there is such a thing)

 

I always find the statement "beat" the red light a little funny - to me this means speed up to get through the intersection before the light turns red, or the guy that wants to "beat" it by knocking into it and making it fall down.

 

PERSONALLY (not to say I am right) prefer "run" the red light, meaning to go through the intersection when the light is red.

agree lor...my language hardly perfect, and I dun normally post such things...just two observations is all,

 

BTW - no offense intended so I hope none taken

[Berncsp76]

Second that. A better word to use.

 

For me I would't. Why risk my life and others??? and probably there's a hidden camera somewhere hiding...my ride not that fast too..hah...

[Swingarm]

[Jamesc]

I wouldn't cos no point saving a few mins

 

but risk getting hit and dying.

 

At that hour, a lot of sleeply/drunk people

 

and people driving fast!

Dear TS

 

It it not that I want to teach you on how to lead your life.....but when there are written laws and stated rules, on what you should and should not do...you should not ask stupid questions to test the issue.

 

What I post here might sound silly or even sound like your parents nagging you but hell....think about the years you have down the road and all it takes to ruin that, is a moment of folly!

My answer is no. I believe a lot of drivers think this way, that will explain the fatal accidents at such hours.

 

At such hours there are a lot of fatigue taxi drivers and possible drink drivers. Plus if other drivers assume all clear and ignore traffic lights. It becomes hazardous to drive as such hours.
