A similar thing happened to me in my old T/A years ago. I'm stopping for a light, but the soccer mom in the minivan behind me wasn't paying attention. Once she began to brake, I knew she wasn't going to have enough room. It was an isolated intersection, and the coast was completely clear, so I nailed the Loud Pedal blowing through the red light so I could get out of Dodge! As I looked in my rear view, I saw her come to a halt in the center of the intersection. It was a good thing I was paying attention to all my surroundings, otherwise it would have been my ass!!!
