Okay, so i was just driving back to work after lunch and this lady in car in front of me with 2 infants in the back seat (both in child seats) decided to run a red light. So as she is going through the intersection an SUV comes through and nails the car right in on the passenger side spinning the car off the road, the SUV for the most part is not damaged while the car is totaled. Luckily there was a cop right behind me who saw the whole thing. This really makes me mad though, why would a mother, with 2 infants in the back seat be in such a rush that she has to run red lights and risk their lives. Everybody seemed to be okay. People really need to be a little smarter.

Because people are impatient. Not to be a bastard, but maybe if her kids are hurt that will teach her not to jump the gun.

When referring to this ability of Humans called 'intelligence' most people don't put it between quotes without reason, you know.

That's a crazy stunt. Why, oh why...it's only gets people a few blocks away from where they should've stopped. :disgust:

This sort of thing happens everyday... I don't think that the mother was thinking about her children at the time.. all she was thinking of was to make it through the red light.

She should've known better, when I drive around w/ passengers, I constantly try to remind myself to take it easy because I'm not the only person in the car and that I am responsible for other people's lives.

Sometimes people make it through the rush when they're in a hurry. But it was unfortunate that this scenario went off the scale =( I'm glad nobody was hurt though =)
