1 edit | Right of way Last night some dumb ass that ran the red light claimed they had right turn Right of way to turn right, she claimed to be exempt from the red light
I had the Green light, Right of way (Was making a left with Green Light "No yield" since it's 3 way intersection) anyways she ran the red light and nearly hit me (she was in the slow lane I was entering the middle lane which becomes the slow lane as the slow lane turns right.)
guessing she had no right to run the red light
this is the second time I almost got hit by a red light runner  I mean all traffic was stopped so there is zero excuse... |

Canada | unless where your at is special, right on red requires a full stop, then proceeding when clear(like a 3 way intersection with 1 stop sign)
should have countered with "through traffic has right of way" |

Red light is a stop sign - she has to give way to thru traffic - those with green lights of is in a lane that does not end.

Except in instances of negligence* green trumps red 100 percent of the time.
*Negligence: You are approaching an intersection with green light for you. You see a vehicle proceeding through the intersection against the red. You can see if you don't break you will collide. You have time to stop or take reasonable evasive action. However, you say to yourself, "I have a green so I have the right of way and therefore I'm going to keep on proceeding." You collide with the other car.
(Don't laugh, stuff like that happens!) |

Things like this are why I installed a dash cam into my car, 1080p great quality for under 200$. I feel it's worth the extra insurance, plus other uses. |

things can get tricky here It's not like these are 25 or 35 zones
these are 50mph to 65mph zones so there is no stopping on a dime here..

Well, does your car at least turn into something else? Sometimes I turn it into a trashcan. Hmm... |

My state has this crazy rule that at intersections if you collide making a left you are never faultless. In other words make a left and share blame no matter what. Theory holds that you need to be diligent when making a left. And making a left when cars are moving in the oppisite direction isnt being that. Its clear the line is there for her to stop tho. At least if she does have a red. Around here since there is two lanes its not unheard of both having green light to opposing traffic. Since two lanes are there. The left could make a left into the inside lane and the right make a right to the right lane. We have them around here. |

2 edits | I think liability is different when you have a Green left arrow on a 3 way traffic light...
21451. (b) driver facing a green arrow signal, shown alone or in combination with another indication, shall enter the intersection only to make the movement indicated by that green arrow or any other movement that is permitted by other indications shown at the same time. A driver facing a left green arrow may also make a U-turn unless prohibited by a sign. A driver shall yield the right-of-way to other traffic and to pedestrians lawfully within the intersection or an adjacent crosswalk.
crosswalk is N/A since no adjacent crosswalk. |

Depends on the state. It's known as the "last clear chance" doctrine of negligence.

no excuse for that person she knew and was purposely entering the intersection. With intentions of causing a accident. |

Speaking of the green arrow.. They changed the signal in the town I work in so You get the green arrow for the turning lane for maybe 8-9 seconds then the green arrow goes away but the Green light still stays on.. But every now and then you get people that just sit at the damn light like it's a red light and people are blowing horns and everything.. I just go around them..
How in the hell do you not know what to do?? each damn lane has it's own traffic light signal.. I learned that crap back when I was 15 years old reading a DMV manual..
And don't get me started on this other light.. How in the hell is a turning lane going to have a green arrow for only 2 seconds then goes back to red? If you sleep on that light you WILL have pissed off people behind you.. That's got to be one of the quickest light changes in the U.S.
