Here are more facts.  The road that I was on is called Rockville Pike.  It was well plowed.  The
light had been green for a while, so it wasn't like it just turned.  Hmmmmm.......green light, the
light's been green for a while.........go, right?

The asshole who hit me was coming out of NIH.  He had the red light and had had that for a while.

I didn't CHARGE the light, pal.  I just continued to drive along -- at a speed below the limit, I
might add -- and the damn fool couldn't stop at his red light.

Seems like you screwed the pooch there, pal.

There are some things you have to figure are going to happen.  People may run red lights, but you
can't figure on them running them a good fifteen to twenty seconds after their light has turned
red.  Otherwise, you'd never get anywhere.  Especiall if there's any traffic at all.
