Red means STOP!

Dear Woman to Couldn’t Be Bothered to Stop at the Red Light This Morning:

In case you weren’t told this before, let me enlighten you. The big boxes with the red, yellow and green colored circles that light up are called traffic lights. The colors indicate what you are to do as you approach them. Green indicates that you may commence driving and pull forward through the light/intersection or turn. Yellow means proceed with caution. Red means STOP. Yes, that’s correct, STOP. Let me spell it for you in case you missed that…S-T-O-P. It means “to prevent from proceeding, acting, operating, continuing, etc.: to stop a speaker; to stop a car.” See? It does not mean that you should continue on through the intersection and try to run over 3 other vehicles just because you drive a ginormous Chevy Suburban that is as large as the 3 vehicles you were attempting to run over. Maybe your vehicle is too large and blocks your view of the traffic lights and other vehicles on the road? If so, maybe you should consider purchasing something a little smaller so that you can see everything a little more clearly. If it’s just the fact that you feel that you deserve to take up more of the road and all other drivers be damned, then perhaps you should do a reality check because we have just as much right to be on the road as you do, smaller vehicle or not.

Sincerely,

Stef
