Hi friend,
I promise this week’s post is going to get right to it because this is really important!
Last week, I had, and this isn’t the first time, someone walk into my office looking like they’d been hit by a truck, and they literally had been. This truck ran the red light, going probably 55 miles an hour and hit not only this person’s car, but 3 others. This isn’t the first person that’s been hit by someone running a red light and causing severe injuries that have permanently and negatively affected people’s lives.
Throughout my career as a healthcare practitioner, I’ve had multiple people come in who have been hit by drivers who think they can make that light, going WAY too fast.
I live literally 5 minutes from my office. Between these two points, I have one very minor traffic light to pass through and then a bigger one…even that one isn’t very big, in the world of intersections. Invariably, just about every day that I pass through, I witness some a****** driving about 50 mph through a very hard red light.
In my head, I’m yelling all kinds of unmentionables at that person because I know all the damage that their hurriedness, their lack of thought for others can cause.
I know this may be very obvious to you, but I’m just giving a very strong reminder to
LOOK BOTH WAYS BEFORE YOU CROSS.
“Give it the 3 second rule” my attorney friend told me.
Look left, right, and left again and wait 3 seconds before you pull out into that intersection.
I tell my family this over and over again, and I realize that I want to share the same with YOU and your families. I’ve honestly seen so many people over the years with this scenario and it makes me so angry. Please take care of yourselves as you drive today, this weekend and off into the sunset. You’re important!
And if this isn’t already obvious, if you’re the driver, please please please take your time and use that yellow light as a cautionary and start slowing down, rather than trying to make that light. You may be saving yourself and others by erring on the side of caution and taking your time.
I appreciate those communities that have blinking yellow lights to let you know that the red is coming. We don’t have those where we live, and if you are reading this and have any kind of voice in your community, this may be something that you can bring up to your city leaders. I believe that these will help in traffic accidents at intersections…..(just had to make that plug here!)
