No matter how many tail lights you have, STUPID IS STUPID. A month ago I stopped at a traffic light on the red, the lanes are 3 wide with a divided medium. Cars pulled up beside me and behind. The light turned green and before I could start off, a young exchange student in a leased BMW X5 took off and drove me into the intersection. Claims he did not see me; for the love of God he was stopped behind me for the red cycle. Police arrived and charged the young lad with STUPIDITY ; actually he was charge with failure to have proper control of his vehicle.
