yea thought as much....i do that sometimes, look at the cars lights to see when it goes red, but sometimes they will just go through anyway if it turns red a few seconds before they get to them, so always best to wait a few seconds till the pedestrian light goes greenseek said:haha, oh so thats where i'm going wrong!

ok you can stop with the "it's your fault" posts right now - i said the lights were red as the cars see them. they were also green from my point of view. i did absolutely nothing wrong here.nige said:

i don't see why... it certainly wasn't moving slow and it's not like i was wearing anything protective (jeans/tshirt). i don't think such an assumption is OTT at all. but then i guess you had to have been there...[TW]Fox said:Lets not get carried away, you'd probably have been in a worse state but to say it was almost death is a little OTT
And its blatantly obvious he mean the road lights not the crossing ones.singist said:I would suggest that you re read the highway code, Red means STOP, not stop if you feel like it/would not cause accident etc.
Was it you who nearly ran him down?

You ran a red light then decided to go after the pedestrian who you nearly knocked down as a result?Violent-J said:If you were from Birmingham I'd be more concerned, I almost ran someone over at traffic lights before but it was because they were being a pleb and didn't look before they stepped out. It was a set of traffic lights on a 40mph dual carriageway main road, im in the right hand lane doing about 35 - 40, i see the lights go yellow, used my judgement to realise I could probably stop in time but I'd have gone over the think white line and blocked the pedestrians path and it wouldn't have been safe to slam my brakes on, no way I couldn't stop safely basically so I carried on but the fool stepped out as soon as the lights went red and I had to swerve to miss him. I was raging so I turned the car around and went looking for him but he had cleared off. Absolute stupidity.
