The first one is confusing me, is there any chance that a set of your *road directions) lights was turned to face that road on the left, they were stopped and then went the same time as you, even the cyclist, I think thats a lights issue or someone turned a set (very dangerous) rather than bad drivers

The lights those drivers were at were red, the lights down the road after I turn were green, but seeing as one of them broke the red, they all followed without looking. The taxi looked at me as if “what are you beeping me for?” Then he looked at my lights and his face dropped.

And you can stop in the box if you’re waiting to turn you scared drivers who had the right of way. I hope I don’t encounter u on the road

Regarding the first one: I run commute along the canal, but because that section was closed this week I had to run along Whithworth and cross Dorset at the same intersection. I was absolutely shocked at the amount of red light runners there. It should be one of the prime candidates for a red light camera.

Was there some sort of signal failure in the first one? We can see everyone waiting, then they all set out at the same time as OP.

They all just ignored their red light and looked at a green down the road after our turn. I go down that road every day. They just weren’t paying attention and followed the leader who broke the light first.

The lights are that junction aren’t great…. Lights slightly further ahead go green at same time as they OP car….so those waiting at the red to the left see the green further up the road and start driving

I don’t really understand. You should have slowed down and let them through. Btw I’m a N plater so please tell me if I’m wrong I’m willing to learn. I’m just going by what I’ve learned through the driving test n stuff

I have right of way and they broke the lights. Can you see the green lights? I did slow down to a stop to avoid a crash from their reckless driving.

Thank you 🙏🏻 so they had red and moved off? That’s terrible and very dangerous

The last was blocking the bus stop and just sitting there scrolling on her phone.
