I did stop at the Red Light
Coming through Rochdale yesterday i noticed a little red car, came out of a side road and was in front of me. At one set of lights it stopped and i was behind it. When the lights changed it set off and left me well behind,it was a 30mph zone and i keep to the limits. At the next set of lights i caught it up, just as they changed to green again it left me behind till the next set which just changed to red as it got there. As the drivers window was down and i was at side of it i saw it was a young woman driving. I said it was a good job i wasn't a policeman as you were speeding. She looked up from her phone(she was texting) and then started to put her seat belt on! I said do you realise you could have 3 points and £60 fine for speeding. 3points and £60 fine for no seat belt. And 3points and £60 fine for using a phone. She said " well at least i stopped for the Red light". What do you say to that!!!!

Re: I did stop at the Red Light
i reckon you should mind your business , if she wants to speed its nothing to do with you,
as for i keep to the limits, rubbish holier than thou

I wouldn't have said anything either though as you never know how people will react. But good on Sylar for telling her off about the phone, selfish cow.

Re: I did stop at the Red Light
When her inattention might kill you, then yes, it is something to do with you.
Not saying you should, but if no-one points out how bad people's driving is to them, they'll just keep doing it.

Re: I did stop at the Red Light
its up to the police to tell her not some one traveling behind her,
if he had done that to few people i know ,he would have been given a black eye,
seems to me like he was chasing her, she couldnt have going very fast he kept catching her up,

If Jo Public stopped burying its head in the sand and 'did' something instead of saying 'they should do something about it', whoever 'they' are, the country wouldn't be in the state it is.

Leave Sylar alone.
He may have been unwise, but he wasn't wrong.
Just saying...

Re: I did stop at the Red Light
you don't have to chase a car to be able to catch up, especially in a city where there's a lot of traffic and congestion. Bikes can filter through in perfectly fine legal speeds and still catch up to a mad driver in a car.
