Venting....

They must not work many wrecks. I don't doubt you but if half of what you told me is correct then the child is who should be sorry.

 

I always wonder why people don't get one until it's too late.

 

This is where you were wrong, the green light does not give you the right of way. A green light gives you the "ok" that it is your turn to safely proceed through the intersection. A green traffic light gives no one the right of way. If that were the case, red light running would not happen.

You as the professional need to be more cautious when entering an intersection and assume someone is going to blow it.

Now the what if's. What if someone killed another in the same situation. Yeah, you had the green but you are going to have something you don't want for the rest of your life.

Carry on safely driver. And be more cautious to your surroundings. You don't exactly have the best record on this forum.

 

The number of unlicensed and/or uninsured drivers on the road sickens me. I wish they were subjected to random inspections like we are, it would eliminate so many hazardous drivers. cases like this, when they have children in the car, are especially aggravating. Oh well, I'm glad everyone is ok, and glad you didn't get cited. Could have been much worse.

 

If you work for swift, it was preventable, because to them, every accident is preventable. Oh and BTW always remember it's the truck driver fault. Until u can prove other wise

 

Keep in mind, the police don't decide if it's a preventable on you or not. Your company does. I've seen MANY companies charge a driver with a preventable when they weren't cited. Not saying that's the case here, just warning you that when this goes before your companies safety director they could still say you could have prevented the accident.

Kind of messed up, but that's how it works

 

Well...

Here begins another thread on how to properly cross an intersection. Everybody get your popcorn because this epsidoes got a pregnant lady without a license. Dun dun dunnnn...
