“We could have made it!” I shout from the driver seat with one obscene gesture in the air.
It behooves me why certain drivers insist on slowing down at the beginning of a yellow traffic light. To be frank, it is quite inconsiderate to be going 50 mph in a say 40mph zone in a 2010 Dodge Charger RT model with only the green traffic light in your path to come to a full stop when it turns yellow and you are 15 feet away. First of all, you are scared that one of the 55 camera lights are at this intersection. Subsequently, fear clouds your judgment. If you had checked your mirrors within the last 10 seconds you would have seen me speed up when I thought you were going to make it. Then your hyperactive, spoiled rotten 6-year-old cries my “oucecream fell” and you slam on brakes?
Now my 1999 Chevrolet with original mileage all of 166,000 miles has to perform like your car does on the Dodge commercial? Did it ever occur to you that I wanted to daydream?
As per the Delaware DMV website: “Some drivers deliberately "run" stop signs and traffic lights; others may be daydreaming.” Mr. or Mrs. 2010 Dodge Charger RT driver, I don’t have children but I was interested in texting this hot guy I was dating as we cruise through the intersection. But as usual, your 6-year-old who runs your life let you forget that maybe my car breaks are not as good as yours and maybe I didn’t know I was supposed to pump them. By the time I realized, I would have plowed into your trunk. At which point the impact would activate your super safety system and deploy your side airbags. See how one senseless act can cause a collision? An act that seems so sensible can cause you a major inconvenience beyond the ice cream on your leather interior. The damage done to my vehicle would be worth my visit to Christiana Care Health System for a busted lip and air bag particle burn because you’ll owe me an entire car. Due to your expensive Eddie Bauer top of the line car seat, your child would not even have a scratch, but would scream bloody murder just the same. Hooray you jerk. Your insurance premium increases, and I upgrade vehicles. Nice.
RIP Anita Medford
