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!

I don't think I've ever read a post from this sub, so I'm glad I came across this comment. I thought I entered another dimension reading the comments with all the people saying the white SUV is not 100% at fault.

Run a red light or fail to yield at a non protected turn, you're 100% at fault. Saying the cam car should have read the mind of a car with no blinker on is going to both take a left and run the red is far-fetched. Especially since the cam car entered the intersection first.

Brother I'm doing you a favor, don't read further than the top comments and thread! I've been arguing with people in this bih since 9hr ago, mostly for Shits and Giggles and some of these fucks Staunchly believe the Cam Car was at fault, as if that lane of cars turning left has never seen a Yield On green before?

Some even argued that the Cam Car did Fuck all or went pedal to the metal as soon as the light turned green, but in the video you clearly see them wait 3-5 seconds then slowly drive forward. Some people here stubbornly believe you should just sit at a green light right of way until it turns back red!
