    I will stop and if cross illegally, will do tend to do it if I know the intersection and its general traffic patterns at certain times, but still it's not often.

    And tendency to do it crossing 1-way streets.

    Now at 5:30 am it's pretty dead, when I start commute, so that means flying through 2 one-way traffic intersections.

    But otherwise, I seldom fly through a red light from the beginning.

    I was hit as a pedestrian when I was a teenager, walking school, thinking more about an impending Latin test. As soon as the traffic light turned green and I stepped off the curb to cross, a car speeding through red light, hit me. Snowy wintery slush cushioned my fall, plus a car that was going slow enough I didn't get thrown on top of the front hood...which is what can happen if a small car goes at fast speed, and impact on body is great enough..

    I appreciate life. Humbled. I was hit ....in front of a life insurance building.
