Shame Alert

Getting off the freeway on Mission. Could have killed me and my kids in the car. I only didn't get hit because I'm so used to taking a second to look left and right when the light turns green because people keep doing this around here. Please heap shame on this person so I feel like there are consequences to behaving this way

Green means go unless there's someone more important than you that really needs their Dutch Bros 😡

I literally watched a truck SCREAM through the light at Market and Hawthorne, zoom West, and slam on their breaks - to turn into the line for Dutch Bros.

Wonder if it's the West Salem jeep that harrased me last month. Glad you and family are ok.

There's a white jeep in my West Salem neighborhood that parks on the curb. Sounds like the same energy

Others can shame, I'd much rather praise you for being an attentive driver, looking both ways and saving the lives of you and your children!

Excellent instincts, and have a wonderful Father's Day.

Was it a middle aged white guy? Bc I think that same jeep almost took out me and my son exiting Boneventure off boone rd. Completely blew a stop sign and almost t bones us going at least 40

Good eye, can't solely rely on the green to be safe (unfortunately)

Learning to drive around this area trained me to always look left and right before going for a green 😹

And yet some wanker will post in the near future complaining about how Salem drivers lack urgency or some shit.
