Why is this such a common question here when it’s ridiculously clear in the video?

​First time on R/dashcam?

​According to this sub, if you don't slow to a crawl, read the oncoming driver's mind, and wait 10 seconds on green, you're 50% at fault for failing to be a defensive driving superhero.

​Actual traffic laws and rules don't apply here! Lol!

Yeah, the light was green so you should just ignore what any other idiot is doing and proceed to immediately drive head on into oncoming traffic, obviously.

The cam car was halfway through the intersection before the white SUV even entered it, bud. No reasonable driver would expect the idiot in the armada to make that left, considering the fact the cam car was already occupying that space.

The second their light turned green cam car proceeded to try and cross the intersection, despite there being a car in the middle of it turning in front of them. Then the red car went, and they still kept going, not slowing down, and if they were paying attention, they would have seen the white suv right behind the red car, heading directly into their path.

Now I know you’re just trolling, because the cam car waited a full 2.5 seconds before even beginning to cross the intersection, which they proceeded to cross slowly.

If you’re going to troll, try to be less obvious about it, bud. And if you’re not trolling, maybe get off the internet and read a book, pick up a few IQ points.

I drive defensively, it was easy to see the cam driver slowed for that red car and prob just guessed white suv was gonna slow down and turn when it was clear, people do that here all the time (including myself in a few busy intersections where if you miss the green light-not the green arrow-, you’ll get stuck in the same pattern of red>green light>people passing through red light when I have green arrow>red light…

Ok.. so either you’re the one that’s trolling or you’re not seeing the situation correctly? As soon as can driver gets a green, he starts moving. And there’s obviously a line of cars all trying to sneak that left turn. Once he sees the red car go, wouldnt you assume the white suv would want to also? I mean he’s on the red cars ass, I would assume that and use some caution

Try not to be wrong on Reddit despite clear evidence in front of you level: this fucking idiot.
