It was real. It is on my local state when I saw local tv news. That's like 2-3 years ago.

Yea I've seen that a while ago on the internet. I never had that happen here but there have been a few times where I thought people would collide into each other by running the red light.

yesterday someone in a minivan ran a red light to turn LEFT.
ok certain circumstances it IS legal to turn left on red, if its onto a one way street, its legal. if you have to cross oncoming traffic lanes, its NOT legal.
this was the NON legal version this person pulled.
we both approached the red light at about the same time, it just turned red. She stopped just like me, and then proceeded to turn left through the red light.
I really hate living in a tourist town..... I LOVE the area and the views, but I hate the tourist thing lol.
I could give you guys examples ever time I drive anywhere in this city, it is amazing how many people just drive like they are friggin zombies

Since I said I could give you one for every time I drive, today on my way home someone decided that they should fling there door open even though I was almost too close to avoid hitting the door. and it was not someone exiting the vehicle, that just makes it even dumber. I mean she could SEE me coming towards her (she walked from the front of her vehicle towards traffic and then just flung her door open as if there was no traffic anywhere in sight! I beeped the horn, and in return I got the bird... here is another link to what happens here DAILY. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZGX4ZjFjbU&NR=1 if you look at these, I swear they all came from my city, lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Usp0o1DWPec&NR=1

It's legal to go left on red from one-way to one-way, not from two-way to one-way.

Also, if I'm on left turn. No left turn traffic light. I'm waiting for this car on opposite way to clear so I can turn. When I see the light turn red. I'm on middle of road for waiting to turn. Sometimes all of car trying beat the red light. I have wait for them trying beat it then I have to get out quickly for other opposite traffic who have green light. It feel like it is part of my fault but I can't control stupid driver who pass red light before white line. Stupid impatient people. :rolleyes:

It is partially your fault, technically you're not supposed to enter the intersection until you have a clear path, however there are many places/times of day where you will never get to turn if you follow those rules.

Right...
But....
If I stay behind white line in green light. I have to wait for traffic clear but there are too many cars since it is mall area. Only clear is the light turn red so I can turn when I'm on middle of interstate. If I stay behind white line in green light. 1st try. no luck... okay let try 2nd try.... still no luck... 3rd try... still no luck. People behind me will piss off lot for sure. This city need install left turn green light only so we can get our turn but some traffic don't have it and do have it either depend how many cars.

i dont mean to be an ass or anything but he was j walking. he walked even tho there was a no walk signal. the pt crusier blew the red light right. then the guy was walking against the signals with his head down and not even looking he would have been close to being hit by that car anyway.
just sayin
