Hazardous intersection

It was back in September when I was sitting at that intersection and I caught on dashcam a driver failing to stop for the red light.

Luckily, a kid who was on a bike at that intersection was paying attention, otherwise, there would have been a tragic outcome.

Let both of these incidents serve as a reminder to slow down, pay attention to stop signs and traffic signals, and drive safely.
