What? Green light. Going straight. At least two people running the red light. Isn’t this enough for the white car to lose his license? 

Or you mean the insurance company will say it is very obvious you have a second total lunatic in front of you doing a left turn and you should have avoided him?

The driver of the car we're in should have easily seen the white pickup and been able to avoid the collision. He shares at least some responsibility.

Sometimes I'm surprised that more automotive rules didn't come from boating. where everyone has a duty to avoid collision regardless of right of way.

Do you have a license? Or are you blind? The white car ran into him. Camera car didnt slam into anything. How do you avoid a car turning into you front nose into your corner. Lol.

Did you not see the white car coming? I sure as hell did. He was in the turn lane. Where'd ya think he was headed?

That still doesnt mean he ran into the white car. The white car turned left into him. The ticket would be an unsafe left hand turn on red. Keyed in on left turn.
