It's that moment when that safe color green decides to turn the unsure color yellow, which brings us to the ultimatum--red. And here's my thought process: Green means go. Okay, I'll go, and everyone else will go, and it will be predictable and safe. Oh, okay, yellow. Well do I speed up or do I slow down? What if I slow down too much and I get in a fender bender? But I'm in a hurry. Is it illegal to speed up? Oh, I hate yellow! Okay, so say I do speed up and run through it on yellow? In the middle of the intersection it turns red. Check for cops? Does that technically count as running a red light? Yes? Oh, okay.
"You are legitimately scared of stoplights, aren't you?" Beth once said.
Yeah. I am.
Not only are you legitimately afraid of yellow lights, but you have the worst luck with them!
