I puckered a bit watching this

Same thing that happened to me... But I wasn't so lucky.

Honestly man, if you were watching, you could have seen they weren't stopping. Although I guess that's easy to say now that I'm looking for it.

I almost did this exact same thing, only I was on my bike, and the dude would have T-boned me. Was at a 4-way light, turned green, took off even easier than you did, and the dude came through the middle lane of 3 from my right (other two had 2-3 cars in them, which made it even worse). He never even hit his brakes. Good thing I seen him out of the corner of my eye or I'd be in bad shape right now. I had adrenaline runnin for a solid 15 minutes.

Good thing you missed him in any event.

"Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

Sure, I could have judged better, but I saw his car was nosed over like he was braking hard, then my initial focus was the F150 coming from the right, he was flying, too. A lot going on at once. I will say this, I usually take off hard at this light, but since I am breaking in new axle bearings I didn't. Broke ass Ford parts might have saved me LOL.
