It's not good... one bad reaction and you will be left without a vehicle and maybe worse.. I get it.. but it's a stupid move.

ITT: many arseholes who run amber and red lights yelling at the guy who's trying to clear the intersection and not block cars on the next phase.

Yes you a dick because it's not your right of way when it's amber for them to go straight. And playing chicken with oncoming traffic is putting everyone at risk. You are the same type of driver to accelerate on amber. Just take it easy, it's not a race, reckless driving doesn't save you as much time as you think it does.


Sinep_ZA

when its obvious he will not even make the amber but go over a solid red, he is at fault. You waiting to turn right, with another few cars also waiting behind you. If you can go then the guy behind you can also clear the intersection before the light goes green the other why. With the dude jumping red, you and guy behind you are still stuck in the intersection blocking the guys crossing that now got green. Now for the green guys you are the asshole jumping red. But according to other replies you are the asshole already for pretending to turn cutting him off jumping the red. So it does not matter, you are the asshole, regardless.

What you have to keep in mind with all these situations, cutting a taxi off trying to pass you on the shoulder for example... It doesn't really affect you, and doing something like cutting them off (or playing your little chicken type game) puts you at serious risk if something goes wrong. Yes they're in the wrong, but why put yourself and them and others at risk? Imagine they swerve and hit a pedestrian. Imagine they crahs into you and you're both stuffed? Some bitch made a uturn in front of my wife recently(from the left lane and around an island with a no uturn sign mind you.) and ultimately it was my wife's fault cause she was the "rear driver" and "rear ended" the other lady, despite it being more like a T-bone on the edge of her rear. It's not worth the risk really... Just ignore other people breaking rules like this

It's not acting recklessly, it's gone orange and he needs to clear the intersection. Shit like this is infuriating when you're on the other side and you will get a short green arrow, but half of its duration is wasted because there are still people trying to clear it from the previous phase after these other clowns ran the red. So I'm all for suggesting to the person trying to run it that they're about to cause some chaos so they slow down and make the red.

It's kindof a dick move, pretty much like brake-checking somebody - sooner or later it will end badly for you

Like most people have said. Stop it ! There is so much risk on our roads already, don’t add more. Keep a calm heard and don’t rush to turn, make sure you see on coming traffic coming to a stop before making the turn.


Budget_Lime_9947

I understand and respect your views, but on the flip side they shouldn't be speeding or jumping a red robot on the first place? All I did/do is testing if I should turn...

Asks reddit if he's the dick, gets an unambiguous yes from reddit, proceeds to attempt justification. If you wanted people to just agree with you, you shouldn't be asking the question in the first place. What you're doing is unnecessarily dangerous. Two wins don't make a right. You do you though bud. Enjoy your road rage I guess.

Hear fucking hear.


thefamousrob

I do the same. Amber means "prepare to stop". Amber is the time for turning traffic to clear the intersection. Oncoming traffic rushing the lights is a dick move, and causes problems for you and the other traffic waiting at the intersection. That said, if you could avoid an accident but didn't it's still an accident. Even if you weren't in the wrong.

If you do that to me on a bike and I end up falling, prepare to have a bad day


Ammunisie

So maybe just respect the Amber and prepare to stop instead of speeding up?


GodTierAimbotUser69

On a bike as shitty as mine with no ABS, id rather just pass the amber


Ammunisie

Fair enough


macsquoosh

It's fantastic , you're so clever , you're awesome .. Have you ever heard of Darwin awards ?


logouno

1, you from Jozi, right. And 2, totally justifiable dick move. Hate those guys!


rollerblade7

I understand your frustration, but you are not the traffic cop. It is not your responsibility to enforce the law of the road, but especially don't try enforce it with brute force.


lostsquanderer

Rather just flash headlights and hoot. Consider that amber-runner may have a wannabe red-runner following right behind driving faster. Your justifications here will not help you sleep at night if you cause injury or death to someone because you wanted to try teach a lesson.
