This is a little long but very enjoyable. Probably not for some of the people involved but for us getting to watch these idiots.

There is one of those clips that I can't get into my wife's head. It was the pedestrian that got nailed. She thinks green means go, and goes without ever looking. I can't help but look and make sure, then walk.

A lot of those seemed easy enough to picture happening if only just a little distracted. They just barely missed the light. No other cars going in their direction to use as a reference of stopping etc. But some of those the people are still at speed when everyone else going their direction have come to a complete stop and are just sitting there!

When my light turns green, I always look both ways to make sure, then go. But when it's been green forever and I'm just going with a group of cars, I don't so much. Some of those idiots sailed through a red that was red so long that the cross traffic had been moving for a long time, and still came through hitting people. They'd get me too.

I'm more vigilant on new greens, than on greens that have been green for a long time.

Boy, really drives home the importance of being alert and vigilant at all times while driving (or walking)!

I liked the one that the sheriff car is sitting at the red light and the guy passes him and the sheriff goes after him.

Noticed at least two bikers and it didn't look good for either one of them.
