Cages Rolling at Red Lights

[kcoleman7]

Just a friendly reminder to stay back a decent distance from cars that are stopped at red lights.  I had a guy (I think it was a guy) start rolling backwards at red light this afternoon.  Because I drive a manual car, I'm used to a little rolling backwards coming off of a stop, but the light had not changed...this guy just started rolling.  It's as though he just took his foot off the brake without thinking.  I laid on the horn, and he kept coming.  Thankfully I had stopped further back than what I probably do most of the time, and he did stop before rolling into me.  He appeared to acknowledge his mistake after I gave him the internationally-recognized "what are you doing" hand motion.

Drivers can still cause damage even when "stopped."
