Holy crap, you are lucky to still be here. Red light runners should be
shot, along with people who tailgate (slightly kidding). In 20+ years of
driving, I have seen one car pulled over for running a red light, and
none that was obviously pulled over for tailgating.

For some reason, the police in my area and the other places in America
that I have driven find it more important to give people tickets for
doing 10 mph over the speed limit on the highway than to enforce safety
violations that are far more likely to cause the type of injuries that
you have suffered.

Glad to see that your attitude is still good. I am not sure that I would
be able to manage the same after getting hit by the POS.

By the way, what was the age of the driver and what vehicle did the
driver hit you with, and was the driver intoxicated, if you don't mind
me asking?

Best wishes on your recovery!
