Red light runners vid - let's be safe

This time of year, the roads see many new drivers and even some of the seasoned drivers who are not paying attention. Let's be safe not only at the intersections:

WTF, as I remember the red light runners are the ones who cross the red light because it was green/yellow and they couldn't stop (not saying it's a good thing). But why the **** do they cross like that since it was red in the first place?

In where I live, when the signal is green, and it's close for being yellow/red, the green keeps blinking for a couple of seconds just to show it's time to stop. Dunno about you guys have that.

The people in that vid were just retarded. It was RED! not yellow —> Red like the normal red-light runners who are just a second late or something..

Here in California almost every time I go out driving there are red light runners, some are just worse than others (like it was red for like a complete 6-7 seconds before they crossed the line)

Those make more sense since yellow light times can vary light to light.

The ones that amaze me the most are the drivers totally oblivious to the fact that there are 2 or 3 lanes of cars stopped, and they fly thru in the one open lane.

They need to have those redlight cameras everywhere, the ones that record. Someone ran a red light and hit me. It was red for at least 20 seconds cause I was waiting for a car to turn. The drivers friend said "man he just ran the other redlight too". The driver denied running a red but finally admitted it a week later.

Wtf are people doing. Too many things going on. Phone, reading, eating, etc....

Really pisses me off...

It's also Prom/Graduation season at high schools and colleges, and many teens and young people are partying, DWI, and other dumb things with cars.

The problem is people don't take driving seriously.

Damn, that activity bus driver knows how to drive! He managed to swerve and run the light without hitting anything.
