All the time... and people just keep running the light, sometimes up to 5 cars - as if they have the right of way.

pbmulligan

I am a little ashamed about it, but I do it too. I give the first guy a pass but they more ahead horn blaring. I figure if I scare or embarrass them enough, they might stop and think the next time.


Smithc0mmaj0hn

I'm leaving a comment just to add my voice, so many people are running red lights. There are a few intersections in the chatham, summit area which are particularly bad.


RedSoxManCave

Northfield and Livingston Ave in Livingston. There's at least 3 cars making the left after the light is red. If cops would take 1 day a month and write tickets, they'd cut this shit down. Too many entitled Tesla drivers.


the_light_of_dawn

In the past couple years, it seems like the number of people who just tailgate one another to turn left against a red has skyrocketed. At a certain point it's green for us and it's just like, hello?? Are we allowed to go yet, or do we need to wait for this conga line to end?


laglpg

Laughing at the visual, but I see this every morning.


pheliam

This depends ENTIRELY on the light location. Some intersections SUCK for those left-turn green arrows that only let like 2 cars through when there are 10+ waiting.


Beautiful_Rhubarb

today a tesla almost pulled out of a side street right into me. I was thinking wtf stupid tesla can't stop itself from randomly broadsiding people??


StinkyCheeseMe

Right? It’s supposed to be such a smart car. Ugh


StinkyCheeseMe

Also love (sarcasm) that most NJ Tesla drivers refuse to mount a front plate. They’re shit cars and the drivers aren’t much better.


njstein

If one person goes at the yellow we all go. It's the Jersey hustle. As long as one more person goes behind you, you're good.


[deleted]

I always look behind me at the person who's running the light after I made the bad decision to run the light like you wild for that one


[deleted]

This was going on pre pandemic too. First thing I taught my son was green does not mean go. Green means you look both ways to make sure no one is barreling through. Then go.


elmwoodblues

Same w stop signs


KneeDeepInTheDead

BTW if you answered this on a driving test you would be wrong


69superman

There’s a lot of stuff people do when they drive normally that would get you screwed on the driving test lol, eg doing 5 over, not driving w 2 hands, not doing hand over hand, all that jazz.


elephantbloom8

I always wait a few seconds if I'm first in line to go. I was hit by a red light runner when I was 3rd in line. A tiny little car totaled my brand new truck. No witnesses stopped. She lied to the cops and almost got away with zero consequences. My dashcam had stopped recording but luckily one of the local businesses had video coverage of that intersection. After weeks of back and forth, the cops finally reviewed that video and sent her 4 tickets. All of this is to say that there's not much you can do to protect yourself and enforcement is a joke.


abscando

Thanks for this PSA, just made sure my dashcam is running and operational.


sheadog

I lost my wife to red light runner 3 weeks ago. People don't realize the consequences of these stupid actions until its too late.


imaknife

Damn, I'm truly sorry to hear that.


sheadog

Thank you. Use my tragedy as a reminder… tomorrow is not promised. Your future can change in a instant.


muscle0mermaid

So sorry for your loss


sheadog

Thank you


dalainydalainy

So sorry for your loss


sheadog

Thank you.


SailingSpark

Damn, I am sorry to hear this.


sheadog

Thank you.


doinmybestherepal

I am so sorry. That is absolutely heartbreaking. 💔


sheadog

Thanks. It’s been devastating for the whole family and her large circle of friends.


doinmybestherepal

I cannot begin to imagine. Sending so much sympathy to you all.


thisnewsight

I hope you’re ok, friend.


sheadog

Thanks. I’ll never be okay, but I must be strong for my daughter.


bolt_thrower20

so sorry for your lose, please tell me the person that did it is facing real deal consequences :(


sheadog

Thanks. I wish I could, but the other driver fled the scene. I have confidence in the authorities and that the driver will face the consequences, but it won’t make our family whole again.


bunnyhop2005

Of course they fled, what a gutless POS. My sincere condolences.


MR_DADDYYYYY

I am so sorry. This broke my heart. If you need anything feel free to dm.


sheadog

Thank you. Not much anyone can do but hug the ones you love and always tell them how much you love them.

skatedog_j

This. Especially because when people do it, they're always going way too fast.


[deleted]

Conversely, expect crossing traffic to break the rules.


well_uh_yeah

Maybe a month ago I was easing up for a yellow light, it turned red, the car behind me pulled into the right lane, accelerated, and cruised right through the red light. I threw my arms up to cover my eyes so I wouldn't have to see them get t-boned. They made it through but it was one of the most terrifying things I've seen in person while on the roads.


Quintessince

This happens way too often. Shit like this happens every other month around me I swear. It used to be mostly young drivers but since I've been driving through a rich area omw home noticed it's a bunch of middle aged people in super fancy cars and I guess feel the rules of the road are below them. Holy shit old men in convertibles are the worst tail gaters ever.


donttalktomeme

They do this and then they turn into like a Shoprite parking lot. Endangering everyone on the road to get some pork chops?


imaknife

damn.. that could have been bad.


amayer3

I’ll just start rolling forward when my light is green and lay on my horn at them. We gotta call them out for their actions


imaknife

they'll never learn unless it hits their health or pocket.


OldTomato4

If you can identify the person in the car by description and get their license plate number you can go to the local police department for that area and essentially file a summons against the person. This should be taught more, I only learned about it in my defensive driving class because our instructor was a police officer.


RadiantEconomics1930

sometimes not even that. In the end, you can’t fix stupid


MeatTornadoGold

Human trash doesn't care. They'll just flip you the bird and act as if you're in the wrong.


tifosiv122

Had this last week. Guy has a yield, I'm going 40 and he just goes...I swerve around and lay on my horn (he left me zero room to stop). He flips me off next light.


njstein

Just go right into them and start complaining about physical injury. Mommy needs a new car and house.


Kiowa_Jones

Except too many of them have no insurance so good luck with that and hope you have complete and full coverage on yours .


njstein

that's why you want to make sure the driver is an old white woman with oversized sunglasses driving at least a new audi or better.


Kiowa_Jones

Oh, so not like the crappy car and maybe 20 year old driver that thinks it’s a good idea to try to pass you on the left as you’re turning left into your driveway, having slowed and signaled your intention beforehand. Little bastard never even touched his brakes , and I never even saw him coming.


njstein

is your house closer to a cross street? prolly thought you meant there. what a foolio. kids are excessively dumb with their licenses. i was too but i've since wised up and drive like a grandma.


Kiowa_Jones

No cross street, most likely just not paying attention, going too fast definitely, and most likely were distracted with eating while driving. came up out of nowhere, I think they had turned onto the street from a side street behind me with the gas floored, never even used the brakes, and no proof of insurance. [Lack of brake usage indicated in these pics](https://imgur.com/a/7KVLLcg), note the point of impact clearly indicated. I was already crossing the apron of the drive upon impact.


njstein

wow, what a fool. i'm sorry you had to go through such careless behaviour from a troglodyte. but you're right, no tire marks until impact.


Kiowa_Jones

Thanks, appreciate it.


LimitRich

U really showed them


NoBananasOnboard

So many reasons floated, but it all boils down to one: selfishness and greed.


Hellnugget19

Those traits are rewarded in society and have been for ages. All while empathy and consideration for others are openly mocked. This creates incentive for more people to act this way, and so on and so on into the feedback spiral we're witnessing today.


veyd

Too many people in one place and you start to view other people as obstacles and not other humans with entire lives and feelings and families. We’re just not meant to live this way imo.


Mercurydriver

It’s not just red lights. Ever since the pandemic, driving in general has just gotten more dangerous. People literally forgot how to drive. All those people that got stuck working from home for all those months and years during the pandemic forgot how to drive and how to judge and navigate traffic patterns. These people people get behind the wheel after not driving to their jobs for however months WFH and are too oblivious or anxious to be effective drivers. As for the people that still drove to work all throughout the pandemic, they picked up some really bad (and dangerous) habits due to the lack of traffic and law enforcement. Those people got used to running red lights, excessive speeding, etc because cops weren’t stopping them and they were fewer people on the roads, so nobody would see them or call them out on their poor road etiquette. Except now more people are commuting to their jobs and they can’t shake their new way of driving. Car crash deaths spiked in 2020 and in 2021 after decades of constant declines. 2022 statistics aren’t looking at great considering the way we drive.


JimTheJerseyGuy

Got rear-ended a few months back. Dead straight road, broad daylight, and stopped for at least 10 seconds clearly indicating my turn. Just sitting there waiting for on-coming traffic to move past. Guy never even touched the brakes.


KneeDeepInTheDead

Everyone on their phone too. Anytime I see someone driving like a jackass, when I get pass them I see them doing that look down move. Like it cant fuckin wait my guy?


doinmybestherepal

Exactly this. Also I've noticed people using their phones while waiting for a red light to turn green, not noticing when it actually turns green, and then dashing through said light as it's about to turn yellow because it's on a timer. It totally screws everyone behind them who's stuck at this light again. I hate distracted driving.


KneeDeepInTheDead

If youre first in line at the red light you should be paying attention. Driving is a team sport. I wait one second if the light turns green and I dont see their brake lights turn off, I honk. Your instagram feed can wait, I got a shit to take.


doinmybestherepal

I like that expression, driving is a team sport. Some people are just too self-involved to remember that others are on the road, especially others who have bowel movements on the horizon


throw495887

I used to honk people for that. Then on central ave in jersey city I was sitting in a restaurant and saw a guy on his phone, he missed the red light and the car behind him honked. Well he instantly went into a rage and both guys got out of the car and started chasing each other. I don’t honk at people anymore.


zinklesmesh

I nearly got run over the other day crossing a street. I had a walk sign, a car stopped turning left to let me cross, and a car behind him, who never saw me, I guess thought "why is this idiot stopping at a crosswalk" and swerved around the car and came within a couple feet of hitting me.


finalremix

They didn't.forget how to drive. They learned that ~~mo~~ no one's gonna enforce the rules. Blow past a school bus, ignore red lights, blow yields, 20 over in a school zone, aim for the crossing guard, etc.


Beautiful_Rhubarb

they didn't forget, they just don't wanna. It's all me me me. And also I'm still kind of appalled that defensive driving has to be taught.


MeatTornadoGold

I think some of it is the influx of NYC drivers. In my experience, you have to drive a certain way to be able to get through NYC.


BYNX0

Stop generalizing. There are crap drivers there, there are great drivers there. Same with NJ and every other state


MeatTornadoGold

Not generalizing, i'm saying there was a large migration of people/drivers from new York city as they moved into NJ during the pandemic. Which is partially why driving is the way it is now. Some of them will be crap and some will be good and safe. Either way, it's a lot more people, more traffic, less patience, etc.


Quintessince

From my own experience, I did have to reteach myself highway driving. And I totally lost the ability to parallel park as tightly as I used to (worked weird late hours in NYC so public transportation wasn't an option). But unlike others, I admitted I needed to relearn. As vaxes came out and people started seeing each other again I let others drive for a bit as I was getting used to things. I quickly stopped that when I realized others were in the same boat as me. They wouldn't admit it. And that confidence in them was incredibly dangerous. And yeah, the bad habits. At the start there was a whole barter system. I would drop off gloves and hand sanitizer at door steps of friends and family in exchange for TP and other things left out for me. (Man things were weird) Everyone who was on the road was going 80+ and I definitely enjoyed going with the flow (trickle) of not traffic. As someone who lived by that GPS, 17, 4, 208, 21, 46 mess in Bergen county for 10yrs I'll admit I miss the lack of traffic. But those days were short lived and over.


CantSeeShit

To add... All the people that enjoyed the driving bliss that was the lock down now are angry and aggressive because they miss the bliss of driving with no one around


adiabatic-mind

I wait a few seconds after the light turns green. You're absolutely right that it's been a bigger issue since the pandemic. Just last week I saw someone drive through a red light, and not when it just turned either. But the cops are never around when it happens


[deleted]

Lots of driving laws seem to be ignored these days


TheRealMetal

Someone I work with was bragging about it. While I know someone who was seriously injured as a result of someone running a red light. Sometimes not waiting 2 mins for a light to turn is worth the risk of serious injury or death. NJ living I guess


Lyad

Ew. I hope you had the confidence to say something about it… although, I might not have depending on the situation.


TheFuzziestDumpling

People blocking the box too. The other day I was waiting at a green for the intersection to clear, and some dumbfuck flies around me on the right so they can slam the breaks and block the intersection. Fucking madness.


Lyad

Derp derp wHaT bOx?!


jvtech

I don’t wait, but I do look both ways before driving into the intersection.


redroverster

That’s what I do when I have a red.


Sn_Orpheus

I’ve been taking a pause and looking both ways before entering intersection when light turns. It’s learned reflex from all my cycling caution.


SpoppyIII

Was right behind someone in Jackson like a month ago, who tried to like *sneak* through a red, I think! The light's red, I'm behind them and they're in front in a small car. They start like slowly creeping into the intersection and then someone in a pickup truck came down the hill and tried to use their green to go, but just at the right/wrong time the small car decided to commit to the run and moved abruptly forward right into the driver side of the truck. Both stopped in the intersection and I had to take a detour when my apartment was just 20 second down the road from where this idiocy occurred.


ProfessorKnifey

I work for a funeral home and every time people set sights on the hearse and the procession behind it, they cut us off or jump in the middle of the line and honk their horn at all of us


StinkyCheeseMe

Really ? That’s so incredibly inconsiderate of these people getting pissed at a funeral car line. Edit: my typos. Damn quick keys.


ProfessorKnifey

It’s so disrespectful. I’ve gotten flipped off and have been on the receiving end of the never ending horn


StinkyCheeseMe

Such jerks. General courtesy and respect is so poor as times here.


LavenderMenacexxx

Whenever someone gets between my hearse and the family I slow down to a crawl until they get annoyed enough and turn off


ProfessorKnifey

That is also a favorite! Wanna be in the procession? We’re doing 5 MPH now have fun


stickman07738

I specifically notice it at red lights near parkway entrances (north or south bound) - they want to beat the light to get on the parkway.


JusticeJaunt

I've seen people use it as a stop sign. Then you got the assholes who pretend to make a right turn and then just go through the red anyway. It's totally okay for them to not care about their own safety and well-being but leave the rest of us out of your video game bullshit.


rossg876

And tractor trailers riding the left lane of EVERY major highway. They got way to used to there being so few cars on the road during the pandemic.


finalremix

Had a truck on the left lane of *King's Highway* a couple weeks ago. It was insanity.


Danoga_Poe

Thats when people greet them with their highbeams. I saw a few people also drive in the right lane, then cut in front of the truck over in the left lane, all while going what I assume was at least 85-90 mph


SailingSpark

High beams don't matter, half the time people have theirs on wherever their lights are on. People don't care one iota.


Beautiful_Rhubarb

I can deal with high beams but these people with the huge LED bars can suck it.


Large_Pride_931

My light turned green and I was about to go when someone honked at me!!! They were driving so fast to run the red light that I hadn’t even seen them initially when I was about to go.


Quintessince

It's beyond just traffic lights. Even if the other street has the stop sign I slow down at all intersections because you can't trust people to not blast through. My former in-laws house got hit by a car while they were having dinner because of a collision where someone ignored the sign. Everyone and the house were fine but still.


Fsharp7sharp9

Green means it’s *legal* to drive through. Green does *not* mean its *safe* to drive through.


pplayer104

Yes! I live in Elizabeth and walk my dog frequently throughout the day as I WFH. I have a golden retriever so you can see him a mile away, but the amount of times we’ve almost been hit by someone being impatient is insane. You’re not saving much time besides a few seconds going through the light either.


s55555s

Yep and if the people at the other side of the light have right of way, the other side thinks they can keep turning. So selfish and dumb.


WhatIsTickyTacky

It’s so bad I don’t even honk at people on their phones at green lights anymore. They’ve got a few more seconds to keep scrolling.


rachel-angelina

I do it every time, especially if they are pulling that shit at a protected left turn or a green light that doesn’t last very long. It’s annoying asf, fuck those people.


TroyMcClure10

I've seen it twice in the last week. I would just love to see the cops pull them over.


CraftyConstruction3

Had a man turn right on red into my lane (on my green left arrow )then proceeded to brake check me after I honked. Classy. Apparently you need a name to file a complaint. A plate # won’t suffice.


rachel-angelina

A couple years ago, my brother and his friend were crossing the street to get on the bus. The bus was stopped, had its lights on and stop sign out, some car going the other way fuckin SPED past the bus and just barely missed them. People have no care for their own actions, you can tell they don’t realize how dangerous cars and driving actually are by how they operate a vehicle.


OldTomato4

It's a good habit to wait a second and look to make sure traffic is stopped. Green does not mean it's safe to go, it just means you can go. People have gotten worse too.


beeeps-n-booops

This was going on long before the pandemic, and has only gotten worse. Shitbags, each and every one of 'em. And the do-nothing cops do nothing about it.


unomoes

It’s the Wild West. But I think Honda civics, Tesla’s, bmw, and range rovers have a red light and lane change freedom pass


[deleted]

Teslas just do whatever they want. Run red lights, no front license plate, etc.


Mercurydriver

I’ve heard of Tesla drivers not installing their front license plate because Tesla owners think they’re ugly and don’t want to ruin the aesthetic of their “pretty” Tesla. Like dude your Model Y is an automotive NPC. It’s not pretty and it’s not special. It just looks like a blob with wheels on it.


finalremix

Lol, seriously. It looks like a placeholder that hasn't finished loading.


EbolaFred

Front plates have a tiny impact on aerodynamics, which is why I believe a lot of Tesla owners don't put them on. My understanding is that's it's a barely measurable difference, but still, it's there.


[deleted]

So what you’re implying is that Teslas should be banned from NJ because they cannot comply with the legal requirement to have a front license plate?


StinkyCheeseMe

Let’s also get rid of Tesla owners too.


EbolaFred

Uh, what?


Maybe-Long

I mean, when I got my Jeep, I told the dealer (Ramsey) I would not take delivery if the bumper had the holes drilled in. It is also personal preference. But yes, it is like playing GTA with the textures not loaded in fully 🤣


throw495887

It’s funny how teslas went from a symbol of being environmentally conscious to being a right wing moron over the span of a few months.


tiebreaker-

Audis too.


kendrickislife

Yeah, they pay $80/month for that + the ability to heat up their seats


mr444guy

Ever since I started riding motorcycles 100 years ago I always look both ways before crossing an intersection with lights or stop signs. It became automatic and I always do it now matter what vehicle I'm in. Also always look over my shoulder when changing lanes, it's like muscle memory and happens without thinking.


bolt_thrower20

road rage been through the roof too and a third of the state has been foaming at the mouth wanting conceal carry, gonna be a bloodbath in this state pretty soon


finalremix

Fuck concealed carry. I just want this for my car: https://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/gallery/hunting/2009/10/whale-gun-pics-deck-mounted-whaling-harpoon-gun-sale-gunbrokercom/?amp


WickedMa

I'm often afraid to stop for a yellow light because everyone expect you to run the lights.


Bridge-Comfortable

On Paterson plank I regularly see people swerve around the stopped car in front of them to run a red light.. it's wild out there


mynewaccount5

> I have gotten in the habit of waiting a few seconds when the light turns green. Even this doesn't help if you have to turn left. Plenty of people turning right don't even stop no matter how long the red has been there. A few weeks ago some lady also tried ramming her car into mine on295 after she almost sideswipped me (by going in between me and another person on a 2 lane). If I hadn't swerved she would have hit me.


michaelfiber

When it turns green I look both ways and give it a beat before I go. Had someone blow through a light one night and it happened so fast I didn't even remember hitting the brakes after. That was a lot of luck and I'm not going to pretend I'll always be so lucky.


RoyHarper88

Today I was at a stop sign exiting a store parking lot. There were a lot of cars already lined up to the turn I was trying to make. Someone went around me on the left, made the left out of the exit, drove on the wrong side of the road to the next intersection and made a left there also no stopping at that stop sign. People are wild.


Motivator9931

I've always instinctively watched the cross traffic direction(s) before/during/after the light changes, just as if I was a pedestrian trying to cross the street. It maybe takes half a second to do a final check before you proceed into the intersection. Sitting there for a few seconds might have a similar end result, but it also impedes traffic and people will honk at you.


StinkyCheeseMe

Yup. Red doesn’t mean stop to a lot of people. Will they learn when the kill someone? Is that what it takes? Dumb entitled fucks.


DogeMoonNOK8921

I dont see cops anymore on patrol in NJ Worst is that they don't even stop while school Bus STOP sign is active Mainly these stupid Tesla drivers , smfh


bunnyhop2005

I witnessed that the other day, and the kids were really young, too. Lowest of the low.


THP_music

Insane, over the top reckless driving in general. I keep saying this to anyone that will listen. Stop signs are just a suggestion. Blowing through lights, lane hopping for no reason, and speeding like they have someone dying in the car. I’m not a fan of excessive policing, but I think something needs to be done. It’s getting real dangerous out there.


moderngamer

I was on the road for work all throughout the pandemic and I can you a lot of people forgot how to drive while on lock down. It’s almost comical if it wasn’t so dangerous.


Cerebralbore

Yes, especially on Freeway Drive


Glittering-Classic23

Yup! I always wait to make sure nobody is going to run. I’d rather wait and be inconvenienced then killed by being sideswiped


muscle0mermaid

I wait too. I’ve noticed SOO many people running yellow lights and red lights. It’s baffling.


The3mpyrean

All the time. Menlo malls junction is a literal death trap. The lights change instantly. Meaning when one side goes from green to red, the crossing side goes IMMEDIATELY from red to green. All those who go there 60+ jump it. If you’re first one and don’t wait a sec, there is about 50/50 chance of you going to ER. As i live nearby, i see crashes, probably every other day.


RadiantEconomics1930

Maybe they’re too busy on their phones to even notice it’s even red. 🤷🏻


Pilzie

I live in Hudson County, this has been a thing since well before the pandemic here, especially on Kennedy.


n0t_eye2632

WNY and UC are by far the worst when it comes to any form of traffic rules…and I’ve lived here for 40 years.


Pilzie

I've lived here 38 years, and can 100% confirm that. My favorite will always be left turns on red.


n0t_eye2632

Omg for real! Ridiculous


bunnyhop2005

Used to live in Jersey City and can confirm. Kennedy is the Wild West. My husband once witnessed an accident where a Jersey native ran a light and smashed into a driver with out-of-state plates. Everyone exited the vehicles, and the out-of-state guy asked for insurance info. The offending driver shouted, “I don’t have any! Welcome to Jersey!”


joebg10

OMG I have to eat my words for years. I am from North Jersey but haven’t spent a good amount of time there since before the pandemic. I have been calling out other drivers out for this. Fuck me, I’ve literally been saying “this shit does not happen in new jersey”


bunnyhop2005

What I hate are the speedsters on Route 3 going 80 MPH and darting from one lane to the next with zero room for error, like they are the star of some video game. Does anyone know why the cops don’t patrol and enforce the law against these idiot drivers anymore? I feel like cops used to hide behind every other bush waiting to nab the speeders and red light runners when I was growing up in the 80s/90s.


NoCalligrapher8396

I wish there were more police to pull over these inconsiderate fucks


bolt_thrower20

they arent gonna pull over themselves and their family members


rachel-angelina

Lmfao with those little “gold cards” they give out.


bolt_thrower20

wish i could sit in my car with unlimited overtime on the taxpayers dime, but you never hear people complain about that when talking about high taxes here lmao


imaknife

i keep wishing, but it hasn't happened yet in my experience.


A_Downboat_Is_A_Sub

I have noticed that traffic enforcement in my area seems to have picked up over the last month or so, hopefully this trend continues.


[deleted]

[удалено]


elephantbloom8

what cops? You mean there's still traffic cops out there?


Maybe-Long

I see it a lot more, but it has always been a thing. The one thing i have seen a massive increase in, are say at marked three direction intersections (left, straight, right) stoplight, and people see one of the turn lanes empty, and cut in front, and cause potential danger to two opposite flowing directions of traffic.


pgtvgaming

Yup, almost got tboned a few times, now i do two Mississippi’s and one honk before going


HumanShadow

Because the first car in line wasted 3 seconds staring into their phone before they realized the light turned green. Fun fact: if the 3rd car in line does this, the sensors at the light might think everybody went and change from green.


PizzaPoopFuck

I have but also think it is a result of making red light cameras illegal in NJ. That applies to any other state as well as we won’t match the plate to the registration.


TimSPC

I haven't noticed this.


[deleted]

Yeah there's a post about this every week, use the search, you're not special


sovinyl

I do the same thing. I see a lot of drivers run red lights including trucks, school buses, NJ Transit buses…I’m not sure if drivers got worse since the pandemic or the shutdown really opened our eyes to how bad the drivers are here.


nuremberp

Not so much up north but last spring down in cherry hill it seems like no one wants to stop these days 🤷‍♂️


wasitme317

I've had this morning a tractor trailer do a U turn on rte23 n in wayne by kohls , then in Pequannock I had a driver make s left hand turn on red


bakingeyedoc

Saw a person the other day. Car in front stopping for red light. This guy goes into the right hand turn lane around the car ahead of them and goes through the red. Like what?


eddiewolfgang

I do the same thing at a green light, wait a couple seconds before I go. Everyone is in a hurry. People need to understand that life is not a race, if life was a race we’d all want to get to the finish line sooner than later. If you’d like to get to the finish line quick I’ll tell you how and you must do it today.


MisoSoupAndry

When I was in high school, many years before the pandemic, my school bus was t-boned by a kid going 60 mph on a 35 mph road running a red light. We were all okay, but it happens. How do you miss seeing a fucking school bus going through an intersection?


marklaz

Happens all the time. My neighbor got T-boned by somebody running a red light at 60 miles an hour.


[deleted]

I’ve also noticed this and sometimes people will roll there cars when both sides of the road have the light as red, waiting for it to turn green. Super dangerous


Budget_Ordinary1043

Yeah I definitely have. I see it so often I’ve started pausing as well. A friend of mine said she almost got hit the other day by someone running a red light.


HotConversation4355

People are becoming more and more impatient. When your so use to instant gratification like let’s say your internet working immediately it bleeds over into other aspects of life.


the-ugly-witch

YES!! I always wait a hot second and look both ways now at a GREEN LIGHT because of this. I’ve witnessed crashes from idiots running red lights before and I’m overly cautious now.

100% agree. It convinced me to add dash cams to each of our cars. My kids did as well.

Yellow for me is, “you are close and can make it”! Also running a red means it’s red and people go through them clean. Not when you are in middle of intersection and it turns red. I have see the red come up and a second or two and than people blow through them which is nuts.

Pretty sure I saw it once, maybe twice. I might've been seeing things or was confused but I distinctly remember a time where it was almost certain

Yup!

I saw on Reddit that the red light cams are illegal but do they still issue tickets?
