glad everyone is ok. I just wish people would just concentrate on driving, rather than putting on makeup, talking on the phone, etc..
I wish they would respect their privileges of being able to drive and respecting their safety and the people around them.

Since you are not paying for the damage (I hope not). You should take it to the Pembroke Pines Lexus body shop to get it fixed. They did any awesome job on my IS300 when a lady side ramed me on Valentines day of 05. Will never forget that day.

sorry to see that.. glad everyone's okay.
As part of defensive driving, don't assume the other drivers are safe. Even when the light just turned green, you always have to watch out for people who run the yellow lights or in your case, drivers who runs the reds because they're too busy on their cell phone....

That sucks, atleast the damage appears to be minor so that's good... I had the exact same thing happen to me once, but I was lucky enough to avoid the collision. Good thing too because instead of a small SUV running the left turn red light, it was a cement truck! Good luck with all the post accident crap you have to deal with.

Sorry to hear about the accident, and I'm glad you're ok.
No need to pick on the Focus - it'll do until you have your car back, and you'll appreciate the Lexus that much more. At least they're not making Pontiac Sunfires anymore...

My husband had the same kind of accident, but when he came upon the light, the lane was free and he was going at about 45. The driver turning hit him head on. He bounced off her and went on to hit a light post. He's been paying for it with a neck injury ever since.
It's true what others say. We all need to use those defensive driving tips to save us from those offensive drivers.
I'm glad you're OK...now good luck taking care of your baby.
