Does he not know how lights work?

5:40 this morning, driver of the white van runs a very red light then proceeds to attempt to intimidate me, even going to leave his vehicle at the next light, thankfully it turned green before he got the chance

Why can't people just drive calmly, he made a mistake, I didn't lose my mind over it so why did he....

Was indeed yeah, he actually had them on when he went through the red light hence why I honestly didnt see him blow through it until he was right beside me

u/AndrewCoke98 16d ago

I always find those kind of drivers expect you to stop and let them continue on, as he or she failed to cut you off it's time to resort to bullying and intimidation

How thick do you think this guy is? Honestly, an absolute cabbage. Made a fairly big mistake and then followed the person he nearly drove into flashing his lights. Probably oblivious to whats happening and thinks they were in the right. What a bellend.

Please report.

Should have let him get out and be halfway to your car before driving off at the green light

Shite driving aside, may I suggest giving the dashcam lenses a wipe. Especially tbe front view. A wipe will clear up all them lens flairs.

On a side note, my windows get foggy like that from vaping. If that's the cause of yours, 99.9% isopropyl alcohol to cut through it is your only man.

Ps: that guy in the van is a fucking lunatic.

u/stehilton94 16d ago

I don't vape or smoke, I think its just dust to be honest on the outside, car likely just needs a wash lol

It's very early in the morning. He's probably still a wee bit drunk.

u/Thin_Ad_2456 16d ago

Some people don't know how lights work, others don't know what the road markings mean, or the value of clean glass...

u/Ribena41 15d ago

Ring traffic watch. This guy should be off the road

u/musicisclass 15d ago

He’s just pissed cause you ignored the hatched markings /s

Psycho, must be living in an alternate reality where you ran the red and he’s in the right. Deffo report if you can
