___You will absolutely, positively, want to view this video as it is really spooky for any of us that drive on a daily basis through congestion and stop lights of any kind!

___Good Luck

Re: Luckiest or dumbest driver, you make the call …

un ****ing believable.....

I wonder what was going through his mind? Math or complete drunkness. Comments show he hit the white car and was fish tailing a little bit

i have to assume that was more than 35 mph.

I'm sure they did. That flash as he enters the intersection was a red light camera positioned to get a clean shot of his tags.

Re: Luckiest or dumbest driver, you make the call …

Hi Tim:

___I sure hope so. Can you imagine if he would have come up maybe 2 or 3 seconds later and not only nailed those pedestrian’s coming across the road but a whole slew of automobiles in the intersection at that speed … It is almost scary to think what this could have turned out to be. Every time I watch it I am absolutely amazed that nobody was killed!

___Good Luck

___Wayne
