Always.
You see WAY too many people blow the light.
It's scary

I think i'm on conscious of doing it at some intersections, not all
like if i'm on sunrise hwy, i'll usually check the traffic crossing the intersection to make sure they've all stopped.
if its on a local side street, i'm not usually checking the cross street.

Re: When driving, your light turns green do you look both ways?

always

When I was 18 my sister and I stopped at a light. The car on the other side, ran the light and hit a woman who started to cross the road, when the light had changed. Needless to say we witnessed the poor woman's death.

Since then I always assume that cars will and do run the read light...so I always look before proceeding through the intersection

Re: When driving, your light turns green do you look both ways?

I do majority of the times.. especially if I'm in a new area or a busy intersection. I do wait a couple of seconds before I move though..

I always do!
You never know who's going to decide to blow through a stop sign or red light.

DH recently almost got hit by a guy that decided he's not only going to speed but also try and beat the light (he actually ran the light- in the process skidding on black ice from the last snow storm)..long story short had DH not taken the moment to look, he would have been seriously hit.

Always. Any intersection I approach, I scan, even when driving 65 mph.

Re: When driving, your light turns green do you look both ways?

After I was hit by a guy that went right through a stop sign, yes, I almost always look b4 I go when the light turns green. I also hesitate a little if others have a stop sign.

I always wait a second to make sure no cars are trying to make the red light.

I do this even more especially when crossing the street on foot. At least in a car you have the a barrier between you and another vehicle. On foot, you have nothing to protect you. I've seen too many accidents where people have gone through red lights.

Re: When driving, your light turns green do you look both ways?

I watched two friends of mine get T-Boned on the way home from high school. They were in front of me. The light turned green and they went. I looked(out of habit and they did not) I knew the car flying the other way was NOT going to stop but there was nothing I could do about it really. I laid on my horn, but it was too late. They got hit so hard they flew across the intersection and into the woods.Chat Icon They were in a huge old pick up truck and were OK. luckily.
Lesson: Look both ways at a green light

I always do. Both ways even if the road I'm crossing is a one way.

And I wait a couple seconds to go. I don't care if the car behind me is beeping the second the light turns green.

Yup, I'd like to say always, but it's probably more like usually.
