That's pretty alarming. Even though I knew what to expect from the video, about 30% of the time it seemed like the cars came out of nowhere. I think you were right in reporting her, it takes a moron to drive like that when there's a sticker on the bumper for unsafe driving to be reported.

I don't see what is funny or cool about this video. People's lives are changed forever, pain begins, and lives are thrown upside down. Informative and eduactional, but not entertaining at all.

I agree!

I rarely run a red light...besides, I don't mind being the first car in the lane

Now tell me why I was in the wrong for reporting her ***!
It not wrong of you to report anyone doing something wrong! After only one month of driving my accord I got into an accident because of someone elses bad judgement ($5000 in damage). No more then 6 months later someone crashed into my IS300 while I was parked ($7000 in damage)!

When I first started driving I try my very best not to screw up, and my accidents I gotten into (which is a big headache and takes months to resolve) is because of OTHERS SCREW UPS! Nothing fun about resolving a car accident, big or small.

That video is very interesting and I take caution entering interestions when the light just turns green for me.

Jmag - I am glad you are doing your part to keep them morons off the road. we have enough crazy people on the roads already!!! i would do the same thing. u just may have saved someone's life.

thanks for posting.
I agree.

Some people against reporting dangerous driving think it's snitching but I'd rather not have myself or anyone die on my way to work or home especially if it's a repeat idiot driver.

I think you did the right thing. That first one of the semi reminded me of the time (I would probably have been killed) when a rock hauler semi blew through the red light. I usually go as soon as the light turns green but something told me to look left before I did. Good thing for me because my honda would not have stood much of a chance against a semi going 60+ mph.

no kidding, majority of the time it just turns yellow and by the time I pass the line it turns red so I have no choice...not like I do it intentionally. hence, I said I don't mind being the first one in the lane anyways
