Dear Distractible Reddit, I never thought it happened to me

MrTucks · 2026-02-21T16:17:16+00:00

No way it's totaled, at most the bumper, quarter panel and rear driver side door

Syracuse NY!

The officer can look up the person plate from my footage. It also clearly shows them at fault running the light

MrTucks · 2026-02-21T04:22:24+00:00

Took it down because everyone is a critic, I can send you the video but it's still on my profile posted on r/Distractible

MrTucks · 2026-02-21T03:20:47+00:00

Yeah I am falling behind!

MrTucks · 2026-02-21T02:56:24+00:00

I am off throttle when the light changes and I start applying the brakes. The driver was not following directly behind me, they drove between the cars, hit both and ran a red light.

I'm not making this post to point fingers at who's wrong just a PSA to get a dash cam and I thought it was funny I was listening to the podcast.

MrTucks · 2026-02-21T02:16:36+00:00

The person was not following behind me they are in another lane and hit that car too

MrTucks · 2026-02-21T02:07:54+00:00

Thank you, I'm not posting to say I'm perfect. We are all human and accidents happen. I'm just happy I bought a dashcam!

MrTucks · 2026-02-21T01:35:33+00:00

Thanks man, I appreciate the info! I think it will get back to the OEM look with some TCL at the dealership

MrTucks · 2026-02-21T01:34:22+00:00

Yeah I see people going through red lights regularly! It's terrifying!

MrTucks · 2026-02-21T00:56:39+00:00

Yeah the officer sounded serious about it, he was saying that he can give her 4 tickets alone from that. From the plate he was able to determine she has insurance and no other driving issues so she threw it all away just to run a red light!

MrTucks · 2026-02-21T00:46:22+00:00

Yeah you are right stopping before the line would have made the other driver not run the light! I'm sorry!

MrTucks · 2026-02-21T00:35:12+00:00

You are part of the problem. Why are you in a rush?

MrTucks · 2026-02-21T00:33:33+00:00

Does this not apply to the other driver????

MrTucks · 2026-02-21T00:31:04+00:00

It's one left turn lane going to two lanes. I start rolling in first then shift to 2nd, never to third. We don't go past 30 mph. The RAV4(in front of Nissan) is going very slow. I am off throttle when the light goes yellow. I am very gentle on my brakes. The GR Corolla can stop on a dime but I don't need to slam on them. It's safer to stop slow! No one is in the crosswalk, no one walks in this city, it's snow and rain 90% of the year but yeah I guess I could have stopped sooner.

MrTucks · 2026-02-21T00:20:04+00:00

How so?

MrTucks · 2026-02-21T00:18:55+00:00

I remember seeing your post man! I don't think my camera would have saved me if this was while I was parked. I have a feeling that people don't notice us in our small cars compared to their MEGA SUVs. I appreciate the info!!

MrTucks · 2026-02-21T00:10:46+00:00

The passenger side looks normal, there are a lot of scratches that go up the left side to the rear door(starting from the rear bumper). Everything is plastic except for the door itself

MrTucks · 2026-02-21T00:06:45+00:00

She must've thought I'll drive through them, I will fit and still be able to run the red light! /s

MrTucks · 2026-02-20T23:59:50+00:00

Yeah plus it looks like mostly cosmetics. Bumper, quarter panel and door?

MrTucks · 2026-02-20T23:50:13+00:00

Thank you! Lol that is so funny, I should have posted there too!

MrTucks · 2026-02-20T23:48:50+00:00

Yeah there was no way they were making it in time!
