That semi driver should have is CDL yanked. At the end, your car could have been a "jungle gym" too ... lucky it wasn't. :paddle:

What's The Probelm?

I was laughing through much of your video! I encounter this every day on my commute from Joisey through Philly and out into Chester County.

I thought it was normal...now I realize that in other cities...this driving behavior is frowned upon!

Go Eagles!

Thanks

Can someone explain 0:25 ? What did he do wrong ?
Looks like the white sedan was coming through a short connecting road therefore should have yielded instead of just pulling out into what looks like a main road that sweeps to the left that the Mustang was on. I didn't see any stop or yield signs anywhere, so I guess one could argue that the white sedan actually had the right of way if you treated it like an unmarked intersection. Looks like a dangerous intersection to me.

Not familiar with US road laws so was looking for some explanation like "short connecting road" didn't know about that one, thank you.

But indeed seems risky to just assume right of way.

I figured but all I see is a road leading to the main road with exits on either side of the road leading into parking lots. So just a road ?
You quoted me before I finish changing my post and said something different ... go read my post now.

Yes, looks like a confusing intersection the way it's shaped and no signs anywhere. :doh:

I guess this is why Sugar Land Texas has so many red light cameras.

Guy chasing her was a bit over zealous and that's why he rolled it - I mean some chick in an econo box outrunning this guy? :doh: Lucky someone didn't get in a really bad wreck dicing it up in traffic and kill someone. Damn, where's part #2. :eyebulge:
What happened to the video?


Not a mustang but this for sure is at the top of close call: :clap2:

I get videos like that daily around here. The crazy thing is, the red to green transition also has a delay timed in....and people still run lights. I blame the police, as they routinely just watch them go through and do nothing.

They need to install miniature versions of aircraft carrier crash nets at intersections like that. They would pop up automatically when the light turned red. More humane than pop up steel walls.
