| In Texas there was a cowboy. Everywhere he drove, he'd run red lights at full speed. He had a passenger one day, who asked him, why don't you stop, that's dangerous! He said, it's because I'm a cowboy. Soon they came upon a green light. The cowboy hit the brakes and came to a complete stop. The passenger asked, why'd you stop, the light's green! The cowboy said, we gotta stop because there might be another cowboy coming through. ------ (To actually answer your question -- you have to watch the opposing driver. If they hesitate, or ideally, flash their headlights, you're good. If they also gun it, abort and hang out in the intersection until red. Exchange gestures as appropriate.) |
