I have avoided being rear ended twice because I pay attention to what is happening ALL around me at stop lights. Once I sped through the light - after looking both ways of course - and the dummy kept going and had no clue we had both run the light.
Second time - sudden traffic jam on the freeway I managed to see him coming behind me and pulled over onto the shoulder. He hit the car in front of me - who wasn't paying attention.
I have avoided several accidents this way, but sometimes you are stuck where you cannot move. Happened to me once in a multiple lane backed-up traffic. Was in a center lane, dead stop -- cars all around. The person coming up behind me cruised right on into my rear bumper... You can win some, but you can't win 'em all.
Outstanding idea.................. Look in the rearview while you are stopped and doing everything right and see some idiot bearing down on you..floor it so he don't have an accident..... don't worry about the semi or car load of kids you just pulled out in front of cause you just saved the idiot behind you from an embarrassing situation......
Wonder sometimes if folks ever think about the expert advice they give 9or halfway agree to?????
Well, in my case, it has been pulling off the road/taking the ditch/using the shoulder to avoid an accident. I wouldn't go through a red light or pull out in front of somebody.

Sheesh!

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
