Shoot them ! >:(
Have to admire the skill of the bus driver though. :y ;D
This reminded me of an incident I had this afternoon. I was wlking across the zebra crossing in the local village when a woman came very close to running me over, I was half way across but she didnt even attempt to slow down, stop, nothing she just drove straight at me as though I wasnt there. :o >:(

Fascinating footage 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

The fire engines colliding was horrendous! :o :o :o :o :o

I take both assumed with blues and two's they had the right of way and didn't hear each other :( :( :(

The guy going past a clearly seen police car and through a red was amazing!  I wonder what the officer said to that guy?! :D :D :D :D

They should play the footage of the scooter rider to every person taking their test and force them to watch it.  >:(

As for the rest, well no-one can claim to be a perfect driver but not seeing a red light is a bit dumb.   When the Lamborghini was sitting at the lights in the one bit of footage I was really worried though!

Did anyone else notice that some of those lights had active cameras firing when people went over on a red light?  It hadn't occured to me before but perhaps this shows that in certain circumstances they can be a useful tool in helping determine the cause of an accident.

When we went to the USA we saw countless accidents actually happen especially after or during rain and just assumed that was normal. It might have been tourists not knowing the ropes, tiredness, poor handling cruisers or just poor driving standards because they have so much space. There were even people spinning on dead straight motorways.  :o :o
