That's a very good one...I like conversations...I find out more in a true conversation than by being the interlocutor.

Mel, that's another good one. My answer: 100% of the time. And I don't let anyone ride with me who doesn't. I pester everyone. (And I grew up in an era when no one wore seat belts. They enacted the law when I was 18 or something...crazy to consider that now, huh?)

If you like great question try one of my favorite along the same line of running red lights.

What percentage of the time do you wear your seat belt.

Good question. I conclude my interviews with this open ended interrogative, "What else do I need to know?"

LOL, Tracy. Well, if you're in NYC, jaywalking is required. That would be a good answer.

Trick question; I don't drive. However, I do jaywalk, but I do look at both sides of the street.

Hmmm...I can't say that I have never gone through a pink light. But I'm not proud of it...and I don't make it a habit. I pull out of a blind spot to go through a light when I leave my train station. One at least 5 occasions I've almost been mowed down. I guess because people can't see cars coming on the other way they think it's okay to blow the light. And there has been a person killed at that light. Person ran a red light. It happens everywhere. It's about respect to me...and recklessness. I dunno, I can't say that I haven't done it, but I think there's an awareness of the world that comes with waiting just a little. So, my answer is, if you do, think about it.

Why is the question. If you're in an emergency, then okay. If you think your time is more valuable then others' time, that might be something different. If you almost hit me like a guy did this morning...well, that's something else entirely.

That's the ultimate interview question.

"Do you like kittens?"

That's my question.

What would tell you a lot is WHY you would run one. If it was in the middle of the night and no one was around ... say 2 in the morning ... running the light since no one was around might tell me that under the cover of darkness you may try to get away with whatever you can.

Sure there may be some good reason like to make way for an emergency vehicle or if you have a baby on the way.....

"Tell you a lot", in what way? I'm curious, what would you consider a good response to this question?
