Until certain drivers in Parkersburg become more safety conscious, please pause after the traffic light turns green. Otherwise, your vehicle may be struck by a red light runner.
If a person is running a red light because he is busy, then he is too busy. Also it's as if beating a red light has almost become the fashionable thing to do. If there is anything that gets my goat, it's to see the expression on a person's face as he flies though a red light. A guilty look is not one of them.
It's one thing if a person is willing to risk his own life due to running a red light. However, to risk the lives of those in his vehicle or the lives in the other vehicle is unconscionable. A person may not intentionally run a red light. However, I believe many times a person runs a red light because he is not paying enough attention to his driving. Instead talking on the cell phone seems to be more important than driving his vehicle.
