Dibs on his seats.

 

Fake or inflate an injury and sue the F C k out of that lying bitch because she tried to f u c you over by lying!

 

This is why you always look both ways when crossing an intersection no matter who has the green light. This guy was real lucky not to be a couple feet further up the road.

 

People make mistakes. It's entirely possible that the driver of the mini-van truly believed the light to be green on her side. There were no other cars on her side of the road stopped and she could have honestly just made a mistake and had it in her head that the light was green. This happens and it doesn't necessarily mean she's knowingly lying or trying to screw anyone.

This is why I run dashcams in all my vehicles. I even have a two channel model (front and rear facing) in my daily since that is the one statistically most likely to be involved in an incident. It catches crazy stuff that other drivers do and I openly admit it sometimes captures my own mistakes too. I think it makes me a better driver because I can use it to review events from which I can learn and because I know it will also record when I'm driving like an a$$.

 

I'm ashamed to admit that I saw this video a couple days ago and didn't realize it was an S2k....

That being said, the guy was technically in the right, but he seriously goosed a yellow light. he had plenty of time to stop and should have. That's what yellow lights mean anyway.
Van lady still blew that red and I'm glad the guy had the cam for proof to protect himself.

 

If blowing through a yellow warrants the same punishment as running a red then I'm moving to Russia.

 

This was all over reddit a few days back and a member calculated the time to stop and slowdown depending on each cars. The used also looked up Alabama (where this happened) light time laws an determined that the s2k probably didn't have anytime to slow down. The also determined that he was full in his right according to the laws of that state to be in the intersection at that time. Alabama allows you to enter an intersection on yellow. Some other uses also slowed the footage down and it appears that she was texting and looking down to her lap.

On a side not I literally purchased a dashcam right after I saw this.

 

I'm trying to restrain myself. I'm afraid that as soon as I buy a dash cam that's when I'll have an accident

 

Wow...glad he's okay and that lady in the van is a B I T C H
