LOL...that's classic. Here's another...two guys driving down the road late at night, the come up on a red light, but the driver blows right through. His passenger says "are you nuts? You just went through the light!" Driver says, that's what my brother taught me to do!" They come to another red light, and he does the same thing!. At the next intersection, they come up on a green light and the driver slams on the breaks and stops completely. Passenger "What are you doing now, its green?" Driver "yeah, I know, but my brother might be coming!"

I've had this discussion with quite a few folks regarding what to do at yellow lights. I know that here on the east coast (DC to Boston) if you stop at a yellow you are definitely risking a minor bump in the back, a really pissed off line of traffic behind you, or worse. My colleagues on the west coast often remark about "why I don't stop on yellow". I've tried to explain, but they think its nuts not to stop. I guess there's a different attitude coast to coast (true or not true?). I will say, that my wife is a good driver but she's taken up this stopping on yellow after 2 camera tickets (both times due to following trucks - couldn't see the light), and it makes me nervous as hell stopping like that here in the DC area.
