Jimmy nay socha: Red light

Published

I hope the day sees light when we start taking the red light seriously.

Maybe it’s just where I live but all sorts of people even educated ones who appear privileged seem to have lost any sense of guilt after running the red light these days.

See if you can help me spread the importance of not running a red light through this. I know you all think about stopping at the light, like I do, but it’ll be great if you actually did. I, too, will try next time.

Given the current state, I feel the traffic police can make a fortune installing automated red light cameras, if they can manage keep them from being stolen.
