Is not necessarily lost. The other day, I'm in my car exiting a shopping center, making left at the light. I'm the first car. The road is 4 lanes wide. The green left arrow is on. I hesitate. 10 secs later a car comes barreling through his red light. Accelerating as well. He would have hit me on driver's side. So when at lights always hesitate especially if your the first car. It is a habit for me. But this one was close. Focus on driving. It takes one little mistake to mess up your life. Look in your rear view window when slowing for a light. I usually stop 40 ft from car in front of me looking in rear view mirror, to make sure the guy is slowing down. Then I close the gap.
Around here I see many cars with body damage. I can see why. Always look for potential problems. If I see like a minor road rage episode, I will turn around to avoid them. Go out of your way just in case. Also be polite on the roads. Don't drive when your upset or too tired. Letting people merge and not blocking an egress.
I am thankful that I hesitated this time. You just can't forget. It's being mindful or living in the now.
