Redlight runner flips and crashes onto parked cars

Hello, State Farm...

We need to start making cars out of old traffic light poles. It barely flinched.

This could be the start of a new dawn of safety and security. Roll cages, huge traffic-light-pole-nets held up by traffic light poles to protect us from airborne terror attacks, helmets made of traffic light poles, guns that shoot traffic light poles.

Man i'm so hot for this idea i've got to go and take a shower.

Did you guys notice how the guy coming from the right of camera was going 30mph towards a red light without any sign of slowing down, and the light just happened to turn green a quarter of a second before he entered the intersection? Seems both drivers are at fault.

Nope, the driver coming from the right knew it would turn green. Whatever country this is, the traffic lights are giving a warning before they turn green. You can see it in the traffic light facing the camera - the light goes from red, to red and yellow at the same time. You could argue that such a traffic signal system encourages these types of accidents. But don't we all watch for the yellow lights on the perpendicular signals?

Most of the time, I can't see the perpendiculars from the angle I'm at. If you're behind someone else, it's pointless to do so anyway.

But let's get back to the topic of the lights. This amazes me as an American. Over here, it just goes from red to green. The only warning signal insertion is between green and red. It's a "slow-down" or "speed-up" gauge. This foreign system with multiple lights shining at one time seems unnecessarily confusing. There's absolutely no point in doing this for both ends.
