    Never trust a green light

    I follow the 50/50/90 rule.
    Anytime I have a 50/50 chance of getting it right there is a 90% probability I will get it wrong

    No shit. In auckland CBD earlier today, I saw a dude run a red light, and when someone had right of way (green light) pulled out in front of them, he had the audacity to honk at him for blocking his red-running bitchass.

    And bus drivers seem to be always halfway past the intersection as the orange light goes on for the other set of cars.

    For a moment there I wondered whether it was a crash test dummy, he just turned into a big floppy rag doll type creature, holy shit. He certainly got some height. Poor scooter rider.

    And you're right, never trust the green light, never trust another driver.

    After you watch it a couple more times you can see that poor sucker is knocked out cold as soon as his head hits the windsceen.

    That is sickening. Could be any one of us too.

    Ah Numba One Rule, every other motorist is an IDIOT and is out to KILL YOU, some times it pays to give way even though you are in the right, because it does'nt pay to be Dead right, right.

    This video was shot in Taiwan and shit like this happens all the time. In fact running a red light is a national past time here, fucking ridiculous. Especially as the police do jack all even when they're trying to do something.
