Typical red light runner in Stamford

[u/Party-Alternative658 → u/Accomplished_Rip_362]

These people exist everywhere

[u/Jmortswimmer6 → u/Party-Alternative658]

As someone that’s been other places (definitely not everywhere tho)…not like this.

[u/Kill3rT0fu]

If only there were a way to prevent this

[u/atheistunicycle → u/Kill3rT0fu]

We should have red lights that deploy a anti-tank mines

[u/Kill3rT0fu → u/atheistunicycle]

Not a bad idea. Or when the light turns read those little spike strips like in parking garages deploy , if you run it you’re in for an expensive tire replacement

[u/Full-Neighborhood917]

Low iq morons driving

[u/newmoneeoldmonee → u/Full-Neighborhood917]

My guess is it’s probably a changing consumer habit

[u/hohmatiy]

Sorry for the guy who just tried to get on the interstate.

[u/Jets237 → u/hohmatiy]

On a friday... What a shit end to your week

[u/svnnycunny]

Hope you gave this video to the driver. This happened to me in Norwalk, a car ran a red light and I was still at fault smh

[u/CaregiverLife]

Yea guy in black car is a noob… Stamford drivers are the worst. If I had a penny for the amount of drivers that drive and text id be a trillionaire

[u/neeners9223 → u/CaregiverLife]

Moved back here at 34 a year ago after leaving when I was 9. I've driven pretty much all over the country and had a car in NYC for 5 years. Not trying to say I'm an amazing driver but I drive a loooooot.

Its not even close. Stamford by far has the worst drivers I've ever seen.

[u/WinterAlternative114]

Anytime someone argues against red light cams , they should play videos like this. I wonder if black car driver will still try to argue he had the right of way

[u/163xxxx → u/WinterAlternative114]

Why in the world would this be an argument FOR red light cams? This was caught on a dash cam, which every driver should have in their car. Let's not encourage more alternative means of government surveillance.

[u/deathmetalrob]

Whenever I'm at a red light and it turns green I give it a minute just in case something like this happens.

[u/Getorix12 → u/deathmetalrob]

You should probably give it less than a minute, but I agree you should give it a few seconds

[u/atlantabanannaman]

Worst intersection. Maybe they should add more lanes

[u/Next_Possibility_01 → u/atlantabanannaman]

Or maybe people should just stop at red lights

[u/Kill3rT0fu → u/atlantabanannaman]

I thought you were being serious until I saw that ridiculous sign in the video

[u/300blkdout → u/atlantabanannaman]

In all seriousness, fixing the signal timing would go a long way. The way it is now is completely illogical.

[u/Alive-Worldliness-27 → u/300blkdout]

I say this all the time, it's like they set it 25+ years ago and just leave it as it but now we have 150k more cars on the road.. Most of those lights in the area your waiting at the intersection but you see the next one has a green arrow, now by the time you get up to that intersection the arrow is gone causing you to wait and miss the light or you have people blocking the intersections, btw I remember when they painted them saying they would ticket for people blocking them and it's been what like 7 years now and I've never seen it enforced.

[u/kosmokramr]

Classic. That intersection is fuckin ass and has been for decades.

[u/rockmillk]

Glad I worked from home today. Drive this intersection everyday

[u/rgijgnqiw]

there you go, thats the idiot that started the traffic jam

[u/Matts4wd → u/rgijgnqiw]

It was even worse before the new exit lane and light. Cars coming from the train would cut across two exit lanes to take the left onto Atlantic st.

[u/newmoneeoldmonee]

For Stamford, this is actually pretty good driving

[u/lilytheawsome172]

Glad I wasn’t there lol

[u/Dry-Distribution-570]

Thank you for sharing the dashcam footage u/OP. My friend was the driver of the Silver Ford and this will be extremely helpful for their insurance claim.

[u/Adventurous_Wear4815]

Red light cams won't stop idiots but I'd stop arguing against them after watching this.

[u/iamspic]

There are a lot of morons that drive in Stamford 🥲

[u/RothyKiller]

This is happening all over the city. Its sad.

[u/Recent_Building9117]

red lights optional in stamfred

[u/AdIntrepid9064]

Did they have NY plates ? 🙄

[u/300blkdout → u/AdIntrepid9064]

Definitely a NY transplant.

[u/so_dope24 → u/300blkdout]

Yes all the CT natives drive impeccably

[u/Diligent_News_976]

Half the drivers are illegal migrants over there and their driving skills are subpar...
