I am sooooooooo pissed!!!!

Last night while I was leaving the highway, at the T-intersection of the off-ramp and the street, I was almost broadsided by a police van that ran red light at about 40mph. There are traffic lights and I had green light. At the intersection, there are trees that prevented me from seeing the direction the van was coming from. I had my windows down, but didn't hear a thing. The police van had its lights on but no siren, so obviously I didn't know it was coming.

I was halfway thru the intersection when the van came within a foot or 2 from the car's nose. The van swerved quickly to the opposite direction and almost plowed into 3 or 4 taxis that stopped for the red light. Luckily, he swerved to the outside lane which was free of cars, otherwise, the van would have created a serious pileup.

I was momentarily stunned by this event, so I stopped in the middle of the intersection trying to gather my wits. I think the cop driving the van was also stunned because I saw the van sitting in the opposite lane for about 10 seconds. He then realized that he didn't have the siren on, so he flipped it on and drove off.

Looking back....if I had been 1 second quicker thru the intersection, the van probably would've broadsided my car on the driver side and I could've been wasted. It pisses me off that the police can sometimes act with such recklessness when driving to the scene. I find HK police frequently running to scenes with just the lights flashing but no siren. I mean do they expect people to notice them with just the lights flashing??

Do cops in your area speed to scenes without sirens blasting?
