Knowing that I am a full-blooded New Yorker for years...I can tell from the many experience encounters I had over the years. Namely with dad...the driver behind the wheel. Without a doubt, there are other New Yorkers that don't even obey the rules of the light. I seen this more than once(childhood or present) and here's why:
Now, I know must New Yorkers are not all like this(I have been looking out for myself, waiting for lights to change and being very obeyful to the rules themselves), but there is some absent-minded, cell-phone chattering, "Don't give a shit" jerks that would just love to run or walk in front of the green light while the car has the right away. Doesn't matter who does that. This has happened in Yonkers(Getty Square is the worst), Manhattan, the Bronx, etc...lots of these non-caring people that look like they want to sue the people behind the wheel and be hit by cars. I remember my dad had a close encounter with some fat guy with his fat kid, running across the green light when the guy didn't have the right away. He just came out of nowhere, running....my dad had to put breaks on because he was inches from him, but the fahter and his child just ran for no reason. You could sworn that was almost an accident, but thank God for dad's quick reflexes. He might be an agressive driver, but he knows when somebody would come out of nowhere.
