Mal and Justin showed up tonight to go out to dinner with me (the Vegie O in Fitzroy, I had a nacho pizza), and on the way there we were stopped at some lights. The cars turning right from the oncoming lane ignored the amber turning arrow and started entering the intersection far too late. The last one crossing in front of us was definitely running a red - our light had been green for a couple of seconds. We started moving very slowly ahead to give him time to clear the intersection.

The old lady in the car to our left didn’t. She plowed straight into him, and he cannoned off her car into another car that was stationary, minding their own business and waiting for a green light. All three cars were white - proving that they are NOT safer than other colours.

I feel bad about it now, but I cheered.
