Intersections: crossroads of chaos, where green means go but red screams stop – and yellow? That’s the gamble zone. No sugarcoating – these spots rack up crashes because folks rush judgments in split seconds.

Eyes on the Purple Line first: project your path through, scanning left-right-far. Greens are invites, but check for stragglers blowing reds. Reds? Full stop, no creeping. That long long nose creeps further than you think, poking into harm’s way.

Bubble management crucial here. Approach with space, watch for turners cutting close. Don’t join the party – that pile-up from one impatient soul. Situational awareness spots the pedestrian jaywalking or the cyclist in your blind.

Feet love the brake on approach, ready to halt. Hands grip firm, prepared for evasive twists. Risk assess: is that gap real or illusion? Emotional hold: stay level, no rage-fueled pushes.

Bare bones: intersections test your core. One misread, and it’s metal on metal. I’ve pored over stats – they’re brutal. You decide for 70 years: play smart or roll dice? COOPER unpacks these without hype.
