So my friend had to go back to the ER today because the pain she was in was unbelievable. She had tried to go to work this morning but ended up in the ER. So she calls to ask me to come get her because they were giving her a pain shot and she could not drive like that. Of course I dropped everything to get up there and get her.
Well when we live the hospital we have to get her some meds from the pharmacy. So here we are at a red light. I am in the left turn lane waiting for my light to turn green so I can make my turn. So the little arrow turns green so I can make my turn. Well I always wait a sec or to after the light turns green to go. Well as I proceed to move forward a car in the opposite direction decides to run is light to make his left hand turn. I had only moved an inch or 2 but this guy came so close to getting my front end going probably 50.

I have never been so scared. But it also reenforced why I wait a few seconds after the light turns green to move my car. I have been in these incidents way to often. 1 time is too often.
