Cellphones are the problem 99.9 percent of the time. If it’s a busy intersection and I’m the first car in the turn lane or to go you better believe I look before I start moving.
If you hit them it's their fault. That's the light bulb moment for them if it happens.
The people that dont wait their turn are bad enough but then we also have the people who sit there and wave people through. I guess they think they are being nice when the are really screwing up the whole system.
The four way stop rules only work if the DA that’s in the right to go doesn’t gay out and try to wave everyone else thru. Just 17n go!!
Frontage road lights were inop earlier today in Byram, stopped westbound starting to b*tch about everyone not taking turns with everyone else and an 18 wheeler cruised right by me in the left lane right through the intersection.
I read this as a gay District Attorney is out directing traffic. Might need to get some sleep
Memphis drivers would like a seat at the table
Not only cars but I have seen 18 wheelers flying thru red lights on a major road at a fairly busy intersection.
Used to be in Madison you could guarantee 1 was going to run the lights, now it’s up to 2.
It works out on average. For every DA running a red light there is another that won't go on green for 5 or more seconds because they're on their phone.
Yeah, I played Lost Key Friday and got behind a Lowndes county tag at the one in Perdido. He did a full 5 second stop trying to figure it out. It isn’t that difficult.
Memphis is the worst regarding the OPs topic ..
It's really amazing people that have never backed up a trailer or operated a boat drop 6 figures without learning the first thing about boats ahead of their purchase.
I white knuckled my way from OB to the Orpheum Saturday. Not sure if the ride up, or trying to get out of downtown, with lane closures, on a busy weekend night, was worse.
I think we need to reverse the legislation that banned traffic cameras in MS. This was done about 20 years ago because Jackson installed traffic cameras at red lights. At the time, I was in favor of the ban. Now, they are desperately needed in the metro area. It is so out of control.
That statement falls somewhere on the range between completely false and a judgment call based on the facts of the incident, eyewitness / GPS accounts of when the vehicle entered the intersection, etc.
My guess is that the next round of “smart” safety technology in vehicles is going to be automatic red light and stop sign detection that will override the driver input if speed exceeds something like 15 mph within 50 feet of the intersection. It’s definitely not far off.
And yet that Toyota Camry acted like he was circling Big Ben and Parliament
