Driver runs the red while I'm clearing out the intersection

I originally entered the intersection on green to make a left turn. After waiting for oncoming traffic to clear the light turns red.

As I make my left turn another SUV comes through against a red signal. If you look closely you can see the white line that she crosses after the signal turns red.

Had this been an accident (and without the dashcam) I would have been blamed because she would never admit to running the red.


BEFORE COMMENTING:
Your state law may vary, however under Ohio law a car may enter on green to turn left, and if subsequently stranded by the red light it has right of way to clear the intersection. No car may enter the intersection on a red unless turning right, the intersection is clear and they made a stop first. No car may enter on green or yellow unless the intersection is clear (excepting one car that may stage for a left turn provided the lane they are turning into is clear such that a break in oncoming traffic would allow them to clear the intersection). A stranded left-turner has ROW even over cars with green. THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED RUNNING THE RED LIGHT IN OHIO.

Local PD saw this video and said they would ticket the red runner only, but only if I could prove it was red. This video would have been proof enough for them.

@HateRDDsBusted I would be surprised if that wasn't the law anywhere. otherwise, in some large cities NO ONE would ever turn left

@CalcityAirsoft Hell yea, then you got the folks crammed so far up his ass they can't see the light, so they continue to make the turn too.

@HateRDDsBusted The law in my area is that only one left turning vehicle can be in the intersection at a time but often I find 2 or 3 (sometimes even 4) vehicles crammed into the intersection just so they can make sure they can get through on that light. By law you are legally allowed to be in the intersection on a red light while waiting for it to be safe to clear, but you are not allowed to enter the intersection after the red light. :P

@Scruit thanks for the tip did not know that

@HateRDDsBusted Wrong. Under Ohio law a left-turner can stage in the intersection waiting for oncoming traffic to clear. The law may be different where you live, but aren't relevant to this video.

@Scruit - i think both vehicles are wrong. they both did not want to wait for the light, they both were in the middle of the intersection during a red light. the car turning first of all has to sit behind the white line, while waiting aka yielding to the oncoming traffic which the turning vehicle was way across the white line.

omfg..... youtube sucks because of people like you.... this vid. is fucking boring -.-

One of the things i hate the most Is semi drivers turning just as the light turns red then you have to wait for him to finally get around the turn

This happens to me all the time. There's a light that I need to make a left on which is always very crowded. So I need to wait for the light to turn red to finally cross but there are always idiots who don't want to wait.
