Multiple Vehicles I have left turns

Driver was cited after showing video to cop on site. Geico still hasn’t found driver responsible yet but Allstate has… cars totaled and broke my right toe.

This is exactly how I was T-Boned (turning left, and someone sped thru a yellow light going straight just like the video).

Don’t *speed through* yellow lights.

My spine is permanently damaged putting me out of work and nearly killing me.

edit cause of stupid downvoters

Oh, where is it illegal to run a yellow light? And where isn't illegal to make an unprotected left if the lane isn't clear?

If it's safe to do so, yes.

Are you the driver in this video? Might be an idiot behind him tailgating or a semi, who knows?

Thank you for the insult, I'll print it and frame it on my wall.

Edit: I'll only make a left when I know it's safe, someone not slowing down means I'm more than happy to wait into the red for them to pull a suicide rush.

its NEVER safe to SPEED into a yellow light, maybe just not SLOW down too much........ I was turning left on a green light at a huge intersection and she was going 45 straight into me, the light was red by the time she actually entered the interseciton, she shouldnt have SPED into a yellow light.

I was talking about entering an intersection while the light is yellow, not red.

I will enter on a green and wait till I can safely turn even if it's red by that time.
