The street sweeper, extreme bad language, AGAIN

Here is the scene, YES, I'm talking on the phone, reduced speed limit due to roadworks, so I'm doing 40kph, just as I approach the lights, they change, it really is a 50/50 decision whether or not to stop, had I been doing 60 I definitely would not stop, I chose to keep going, only to see A street sweeper drive thru a red light giving me no opton but to stop, very quickly, you can see a cloud of blue smoke in my headlights showing that I had locked 'em up stopping, needless to say I'm not happy about it.
Even If I chose to stop, the sweeper STILL ignored the traffic signal

@ozstickman Nah, it wasn't a council sweeper, It was (I'm assuming) some contractor cleaning up dirt created by roadworks, I was trying to work out what company owned it, that's why It went quiet on the camera

How the hell does that work?! This sweeper guy must've been DUI or something, to go through a red light when there's approaching traffic is just dumb mate. Got some real evidence of a lock-up in here too.
