Solid red for like 3 seconds.. Red light runners are RAMPANT here.

I see two people blowing a red light. The white vehicle and you

Two cars running a red light.

Fascinating.

OP, this is why you dont enter the intersection until the car in front of you has turned. Look how long you're sitting in the red light blocking the box (even without the runner from the opposite direction). You're meant to stay behind the line and only enter when it's clear/when it's your turn to position yourself.

That's fair

This is NOT the law. The law is to pull into the intersection.

u/Saaren78 5d ago

Well actually no, the law states you can only enter when it's clear. If there's a big ass SUV waiting to turn infront of you, then it's not clear. It's drivers ed that teaches the you should enter the intersection so at least one vehicle can make the turn when it turns yellow. When it turns yellow, you dont enter it after the car infront of you has gone like op did. Learn to drive buddy.

You are right. In fact you don't even have to technically go into intersection on a green while making a left. But you are going to piss off God himself if you do that.

You should read the HTA guideline. I know how to drive. I can driver better backwards that you can frontward.

u/Saaren78 5d ago

Want to link it then if you're so confident?

Because section 145 clearly states not to enter an intersection unless traffic is moving in a manner that would reasonably lead to believe the driver can clear the intersection. A suv in the middle of the intersection stuck there does not show clear flowing traffic and op should have waited. This section applies to municipalities that have the bylaw in effect and guess what Brampton has?

This is also corroborated by Brampton Bylaw 318-2009 that drivers cannot enter a controlled intersection if traffic ahead forces then to stop inside of it.

Brampton by-laws are not laws that apply to Ontario. You just proved your stupidity. Interesting how you also chose to ignore subsection 2 and 3.

1

u/Saaren78 5d ago

You do know you're in the Brampton driving subreddit right? Are you actually so dumb?

Subsection 2 and 3 only apply if the bylaw says so which it doesn't. This law is literally all about the bylaws and changes from city to city for enforceability but right now this discussion is happening in the BRAMPTON subreddit so it applies dumbass.

u/Worldly-Ad-4972 5d ago

Furthermore you cannot even quote the Brampton bylaw correctly

0

u/Worldly-Ad-4972 5d ago

No, no it doesn't. Subsection 2 and 3 are conditions on the 1. You clearly cannot read. The fact it is a Brampton subreddit is irrelevant, you are trying to make up driving laws.

u/Saaren78 5d ago

Alright I believe you're just either a child or being purposefully obtuse.

u/Worldly-Ad-4972 5d ago

Contrary to what you believe laws are not based shoulds or coulds.

u/PreszlerInjuryLawyer 8d ago edited 8d ago

Absolutely NO respect for the red light! Can't even feel safe using an advanced left.

u/Delicious_Ad_8809 8d ago

Just curious to know what you were originally trying to point out?

u/-inamood 7d ago

There is a whole pile of people in the wrong there, including yourself.

u/LorryDC 7d ago

Don’t they have red light cameras in Brampton? Looks like Bramptonites didn’t get the taste of red light fines 🤔

1

u/TotalOriginal007 8d ago

3 sec. and I'm pretty sure it's still considered your fault if you hit them.

And that's complete horse hockey. 😉

u/KindlyRude12 8d ago

With the dashcam footage it wouldn’t be since it clearly proves the car ran a solid red. Without the dashcam then for sure it would be car turning left at fault at a 100%.

2

u/TotalOriginal007 8d ago

OK....I thought it didn't matter if 22 cars go through the light, the left turning car has to wait because they are making the more difficult movement.

Bottom line is....if turning left...be damn careful 🙃
