I am sick of this!

I'm done with this crap.

About three weeks ago I was rear ended. All jokes aside, traffic stopped, I stopped, the person behind me failed to stop. I've only had the car less than two months or so and bam, my tail end is all screwed up. ($2k worth of damage too!)

Today while coming to a stop at a yellow light I saw the car coming. It was a Saturn that had been rode hard and put away wet; It had so much patchwork and paintwork that it looked like a damn quilt. This car moved over two lanes to pass someone and it suddenly dawned on me that this car had no intention of stopping. I was in the center lane, he was in the right lane. I put my car in gear, ready to move if needed. Sure enough he saw the red light too quick, jammed on his brakes and skidded through - without hitting anyone.

Tonight I was in a turn lane at a red light. Light turns green for me only, but yet another car in another thought they had a green light and just moved foward - only to discover he (she?), from a dead stop, went through a red light and was suddenly caught in the middle of the intersection with cars coming at her?

I'm not the world's best driver, but when did our driving get so damn sloppy?
