Hope if anything you learned a lesson, better to just wait for the traffic to go instead of rushing. I did the SAME exact thing except I was trying to turn left out of the Pizza shop. The light had traffic backed up and this lady waved my through, I believed her and started to pull out. This dude T-boned me going 45 mph. He wasn't paying attention as he didn't even hit his brakes and I saw him coming the last fraction of a second before impact and he was talking to his girl friend. I still at fault and I understand that, but trust me, I'm very careful pulling into traffic now.
