I have done something similar, but I was stopped at the red light. staring at it, and for some reason I thought it turned green, and went. But the car behind me honked his horn and I realized it was still red. Luckily no cars were coming through, but still, you wonder, what was I thinking? (or in my case, not thinking)

That's how I totalled my GXE. Unfortunately, there was someone in the way when I did it. *crunch*


pay attention, that's all there is to it.

BTW.. this is also why TVs in view of the driver are illegal, among many other things people put in their cars.

I've never done it but my brothers girlfriend has done it plenty of times. She always has the damn radio on she can't drive if she doesn't have the radio noise.

lol.. tahnk god im not hte only one..

i could of sworn i was the best driver ever.. but i do make stupid moves every now and then (very rarly, and the things i do i could tell you becuase they still haunt me to this day) i look back on them and im like WTF.. im dumb, i guess knowing you did somthing stupid is only a good thing. its what makes you a good driver

- as far as my brakes... i have no clue, they were fine today... a very light "skreechin" noise but other then that they feel fine... i need to get money before i do anything.. and i have to drive down to NJ to get to my job/ and get paid . if i get the front brakes redone (pads and resurface) its goin gto cost me about $200... right?

Dude, you are a menace to society. You should lower the volume on the radio and concentrate more on driving, or soon, you won't have nothing to drive.

My Ex-girlfriend use to do that. I was in the car when she went through 3 red lights it was the same light too, 3 different times. When we went though I was freakin out and she had no idea what happened till after I told her and she looked back...damn freaky. And she wondered why I always wanted to take my car.

That kind of **** has happened to me too. Just 'zoned out' as someone says, and do the darnedest thing without even realizing it. I don't think I've ever run a red light, but I've run past stop sign without realizing it, or didn't see it until too late and can't stop in time. I also remember making a left turn once with another car fast approacing from the other direction. He has to brake hard. Somehow I saw the car but my brain just didn't register, at least not in time. I bet this condition is pretty common. Anyone knows why these things happen?
