Haven't had the time due to physio and other things to be active on the web. Spent a fair bit of time doing editing on a video suitable of the latest accident suitable for public viewing.
The repair work was done suitably. No rattling and Squeaking. Its the same model door. Still has the spare at the back. I like it like this as frees up the cargo bay, what I call the smugglers compartment.
I spent a fair bit time on the video. First time using image blurring and it appears I may either not have had a package in Linux that Kdenlive relied on, or there was an environment issues, but it was crashing when trying to render. I fixed that. Second time I have used split screen but first with Linux scripts
If its safe to proceed (no one running the red) I am in the intersection perhaps less than 1/2 a second after getting a green light. Some of the time, I may have creeped or slowly budged forward after seeing the light to my left or right turn green. In the day of the distracted driver, this is not advisable as that driver may see you move, move too, but look at the device. If you have to stop, you have a rear end collision with the car behind you.
Toronto has lights where say northbound traffic has a green, both left advanced and straight the the opposing direction keeps a red light. It also has cases where the light standard has a protected lane or 4 light traffic light device, but not always providing an advanced green. Although Toronto has some peculator intersections, well the accident took place in Pickering Due to the long time I was waiting, I moved a little when seeing a red light from the traffic to left and stopped when seeing I didn't get a light to go forward. The suv behind me moved either because of the traffic moving to her left or seeing me budge. It appears she then transferred her foot from the brake peddle to gas peddle and looked down and to her left.
Lesson learned - no more creeping as it common these days the car behind you may not be looking where they are going.
