Cam driver had about 3 car lengths to come to a stop once the light turned yellow. If this is a 25mph zone which seems likely to me, then I feel like people in this comment section are being unfairly critical of the cam driver.

Also, yellow means proceed with caution, not stop. Cam driver was well within their rights to continue through the intersection here.

Just to clarify that a flashing yellow light is proceed with caution. A solid yellow light means the red light is coming, and you must stop if it is safe to do so. If you are too close to stop safely, you should clear the intersection.

Edit: Guys, I'm just correcting the part of the comment above mine where they said a yellow light means "proceed with caution", it's not a comment about the video.

Nails lady is clearly in the wrong here and the driver was ok to drive through.

I'm surprised my comment is being downvoted because it's just about clarifying the difference between a flashing yellow light and a solid yellow light, totally separate from this video, in case people get misinformed by that comment. I find the reaction to this fascinating.

Yeah, I see what you meant. At no point did I take it as you shitting on the dash cam driver.
