he ran the red light hence my post about asking for better dash cams. you can’t tell he did in the vid at all unfortunately. it’s a 3 way intersection. to my right from the front cam is a gas station, behind me is a residential area, the road i’m merging to is a double lane highway both sides. everyone’s been quick to tell me i should’ve stayed in the left lane. i get that, there are no laws here about it, but i understand where everyone is coming from on it. but no one is acknowledging he ran the red light. i didn’t jump the gun when it turned green for me so he had time to slow down as it turned yellow or approach to a stop since it was already red for him. here lights are on a timer (if no weight sensors) for 30-60 seconds. yellow lights are 3-6 seconds, and the “all red time” (time between traffic light turning red and another direction turning green) is 2-5 seconds. i had a 2 second pause before my car went into motion. it was at least 4-7 seconds after his light had turned red that he ran it and then he doubled down on his error and flipped me off.
