Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Please don't take this the wrong way - but can we all try to be a bit more descriptive with the titles? This has more to do with site housekeeping than anything, but if this video shows up on the top 15 list ---->
it won't make a lot of sense.

Also, we use the title for search terms, but this is not as much of a problem because the tags are used as well.

also - good vid ;-)

It took me 3 viewings to get it because I was focused on the left side of the video.

Dag: the title consists of my gut reaction on viewing- actually blurted it out, just didn't use the word freakin'.

It does look like he clipped the white car

dag: we need an "edit title" function pretty badly.

The good thing is that from what I can tell, search appears to include the text in the comments section, eh?

Oh, no it doesn't, never mind.

Ironically this was reposted by another sifter with a more descriptive title but was removed for being a dupe. http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=2185

Yeah, dupe status is measured strictly on time.

Holy. Maybe fake?

I was watching and i was like "are they trying to make fun of mini-vans?" and i looked and thought they might have hit the old lady and then finally when i was about to post a comment i noticed " It took me 3 viewings to get it because I was focused on the left side of the video."

then i was like "holy....he is lucky he didn't clip anyone..." he must have been sittin on four leaf cloovers and wearing a horse shoe necklace!

whoa.

Well, that was interesting

Even better than the video is the "Frogger" tag.

I wanna try!

Woah... i wonder if the cops were chasing him, he just a helping hand in that intersection.

what a first sift

For anyone who is curious the letters and numbers in the bottom left identify the location:

"SA WEHA 01"

SA = Santa Ana
WEHA = Westminster & Harbor
01 = Camera 01

Here's the Google map for the intersection:

spn=0.001971,0.003648&t=h

I found all this out because someone was saying this happened in my old neighborhood. And I knew there was no intersection like that in my old area.

Amazing video. For reference I tried to find this video and couldn't so submitted it again a little while back. The video disappeared so I assume it was on here somewhere (not surprising). I just now stumbled on it. The title and tags NEED to be changed, at least separate near&miss and put the work traffic in there.

Tags for this video have been changed from 'car, frogger, nearmiss, intersection' to 'car, frogger, near miss, intersection, traffic, close call, crosswalk, red light, hit' - edited by lucky760

I've always been shocked by this video, but I just recently learned while watching this compilation that this is an intersection near me (the McDonald's in the video is visible on the North-West corner here) that I've driven through a thousand times and that really hits home.

The drivers he misses are the lucky ones, not him. He's a twat.
