I read once that such a high percentage of accidents occur during left turns, that UPS plots their delivery routes with NO left turns (unless absolutely necessary).“Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.”

To be clear, that graphic I shared last night was only talking about turning left onto a 1-way street. I don't like the idea of doing that from a 2-way street, but if both streets are 1-way, there really isn't any more risk than turning right on red.See profile for rigs. Nothing else here.

Truth be told, having been t boned doing a left turn 10 years ago... I actually stopped doing most left turns and was doing right turns/u turns for a while before they made the changes
I had the same thing happeen almost 25 years ago and I still think about that wreck just about every time I approach a left turn in busy traffic.See profile for rigs. Nothing else here. -
It's hard to turn left in New Jersey.

I'm not sure you can really ever shake it. It completely changed the way I drive.
There was a tractor trailer at the intersection with a dash cam. The person who hit us at full speed ran the red light a full six, yes SIX seconds after it had turned red. He hit us so hard that the car rotated and the passenger rear bumper hit it again.
We were very fortunate to walk away with no real issue.- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -

I carry a slightly different mindset albeit two different venues here, I've experienced highspeed crashes, at least two a year since 1986 - 2008 (motorcycle racing), all but a couple I just dusted myself off and even continued to race another class in the same day (fall at 120mph and go, uh oh, boom boom, is the bike okay?)
That being said, I was never affected by any of it (physically maybe). I do agree with becoming a changed driver on the street as I have been T-boned once and not that long ago. In 2019 I had purchased an F-150 King Ranch, hadn't made my first payment, hadn't gotten my plates yet, my light turned green and just about through the intersection and a missile hit my front passenger wheel, bending the frame and totaling my truck.
The sons-a-**** here run lights like it's a privilege, 6 and 7 vehicles at a time. Ever since that T-bone experience, I drive hyper-aware as if I were on the racetrack.
It's sad, because the only time I'm pissed off is when I'm behind the wheel. Ayesha looks at me and says, "you're different when we drive"
I just laugh and say, "when the shield comes down baby, I become someone else"

There's an area North of Memphis called Frayser. There are NO driving
rules in Frayser. I remember coming up to an intersection and a green
light and I see a guy coming from the right hauling @## and had his
emergency flashers going. He ran that red light without even looking
around. A week later someone did it again. I also had someone come
Up behind me going at least 20 over flashing his headlights. Yes, I got

Here in the Low Country of SC I have saved myself several times over the last few years. People run red lights all the time and now that the tourists are showing up (always lost) they add extra spice to the mix.

I may have mentioned this before.....I usually make a list for HEB. One day I wrote "wife" at the bottom. I approached a clerk that was stocking the shelves, and I asked, excuse me ma'am, what isle can I find this on....as I pointed to wife. She looked at it, paused only slightly and said, sir, we don't carry those at this store.Marantz AV10-Emotiva ERC3-Denafrips Venus-Panasonic UB820-AudioQuest Power Quest 707-Emotiva DR3, DR2, XPA2, XPA6-Focal Kanta No2, Sopra Center-PolkAudio RTiA9, RTiA3, LSiM 702F/X-Epik Empire-SVS SB5000-11.3

No idea -- but "VD" doesn't seem like a good thing to have bundled with MILF, with or without the L... at least to me.
